i have a eurostar ev97 with single tank.
I recently installed dynon hdx 10 inches.
I have filled up with fuel but the system does not detect 65 liters but only 50. am I wrong something?
Thanks for your help

Have you done the tank calibration?

If so, and it tops out at 50 that will be because the float sender cannot go any higher in the tank. This is a fuel tank sender geometry thing that most planes have. It is not a Dynon problem.

Hi, i do the calibration... with 5 liter for shot but now the system request other calibration.. is it possible??
... is is possible to have a separate fuel indicator (analogic) or i can have only in the dynon?

Thanks a lot

What David says above is the most likely answer. The interesting parts of the calibration are going to be the values that you'd need to scroll down to see - the ones at 50L and above.

Thanks for the reply.
I redid the calibration following the instructions and inserting 5 liters at a time, but at the beginning (in the first 15 liters) and at the end the sensor does not seem to understand that petrol has been added, that's why even if the tank is full it only marks 25 liters.
question: during calibration when the system gives me a signal that it has not heard the petrol, do I have to accept or not?
Thanks for your help

When you add fuel, and the system detects a SMALL change, but not large enough that is above a certain threshold, it gives you a warning that it appears fuel was not added or a change was not detected. Look instead at the reported sensor voltage displayed during the calibration - if that has changed, even a small amount, then the sensor is detecting the fuel, but the change wasn't as big as Dynon thought it should be. You can still accept the datapoint and it will work.

What airguy said. As long as you've added fuel, and the number moves even a little bit, push past the warnings. They're there to alert you to a sensor reading that isn't really moving at all, but with some probes/tanks, it can be a bit sensitive.
