Hi Carroll,
My guess would be that putting the sender on top of the tank offers just as much (little?) accuracy as mounting it on the end of the tank. It gives you some room for the protruding parts in the empty space over the tank near the spar. It also means the fuel will not try very hard to escape via the sender cutout since most of it is below the sender. As soon as there is a little fuel removed from the tank there is no tendency at all for the fuel to escape via the sender cutout.

[quote]I hope I am not adding to the confusion here. I am building a 601XL from component kits. My wing kit came with the Volkswagen senders but had very explicit instructions for bending and installing the senders on the inboard end of the fuel tanks. This is almost identical to the set up used on my RV. I'm trying to understand if there is a reason for installing them on top of the tank. I haven't cut the holes yet so I'm not in trouble yet.
