I looked at the installation manual, and did a search on the support forum, but would like to know how to wire an existing Float-action sensor in a header tank.

I had no problem installing/calibrating capactive fuel senders, but this has me confused. 

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!  Thanks  Tim Walsh

There are 2 wires that accept capacitance (converted to voltage) senders and 4 wires that can accept float type (resistance) senders. You'll have to configure a 3rd widget for the header tank.

Look in the EMS chapter of the install manual for the specific wires to use.

21 Orange/Blue Fuel level right (resistive)

Ray,

Thanks for the quick response.  I was thinking....I was only going to hook up ONE of the wires to a General Purpose input, and the other to a ground.

This has saved me lots of time/effort - thanks!!  Tim
