Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2006 3:00 pm Post subject: identification of fuel level sender type

My rv-7A kit came to me half finished from a builder who passed away before he could  finish.  I now need some help identifying the type of fuel level sender that was installed in my tanks.  From memory, there is a small circular metal plate at the wing root rib, with five bolt heads around the perimeter of the plate.  Cant quite picture it, but there is some sort of additional connector and/or wiring point in the center of the plate.  Can anyone tell from this poor description whether this is a float or capacitive type sender, or is more info needed?  A bonus would be any info on where to find associated info for wiring the sender to my GRT EFIS.



regards

That is the float sender.  The capacitance has no external parts except 

a BNC connector the internal plates.



What GRT EIS do you have? (2000, 4000, 6000)

Yep, it's a float...should be a Stewart Warner 385B-F. Sorry, can't help

with the GRT EFIS.

If I understand you correctly, then it is highly likely a float type sender.

The capacitance senders are flat plates -inside- the tank, and an unobstructed coverplate with no provision for a sender poking out.
