Fuel tank calibration
I have the HDX1100 installed in my RV6.
I have attempted to calibrate my fuel levels several times. All have failed. It would appear that my sender units (The rheostat type) are too old and not sending the correct readings.. These worked albeit not accurately on the previous gauges (UMA 1 inch) but were good enough to show when a tank was close to empty. These have been removed with the installation of the HDX1100.
A recent incident occurred when operating recently, I missed a fuel tank change and when I figured I had missed it I changed tanks. This occurred when joining the circuit.
After landing I refuelled and put 69 litres into the tank.
I would like to install capacitance senders to get the system read the fuel levels with some accuracy
Can anybody recommend the best type and where I can obtain them
Thanks
Bruce
