Float senders work great and they work equally well for both Avgas and auto fuel....Capacative senders have to be calibrated for each different fuel...I don't know how much practical difference it makes.
I do know the CAP senders (used to at least) require an interface box.
Every one who has used CAP senders has told me they wouldn't use 'em again.
I have floats, they work great and are reliable and iterface directly with the Dynon. Oh and you can fit them to QB tanks even if you decide to use Flop tubes like I did.
If it ain't broke, don't mess with it.

Tail is almost done and I need to order my wing kit this week and would love to get conventional wisdom or whether to order it with capacitive fuel sending units or float sending units. I will probable use a combo EMS i.e. Vision, GRT, Dynon etc. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated. I am building an RV 7 with 180 and CS. Thanks

While I am sure that many will offer their expertise in the matter, my thought process is that I wanted less moving parts. That is why I went with capacitive fuel senders. There are pros an cons to both types of senders.

I don't know if this is either conventional or wisdom, but I decided not
|
to use them (& I like solid state stuff) because the ones you buy cost
more & more important, their calibration is affected by the type of
fuel. Alcohol (it could be the norm in the future), water, and
supposedly even auto fuel vs. avgas changes the calibration.
As much as I dislike parts that move without good reason, I've never had
a problem with the float style gauges & very rarely hear of others
having problems.
FWIW,
Charlie
