 Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2013 1:51 pm Post subject: Changing capacitance probes to float sensors. |
 |
|
The bendable capacitance probes in my aircraft are fitted to the area in the flat space between the headrests.
The are bent to avoid the tunnel.
I find the are not accurate enough and wish to change to float sensors.
Has anyone fitted float sensors that only go as deep as the tunnel?
Do the Float sensors use the same bolt spacing as the capacitance probes?
Any one with experience of changing system?

Hi Dave,
I have one capacitance probe in the right 'reserve' side of G-TAGR and the older float type in the 'main' left side. I find the capacitance type useful for accuracy and I rather like the fact that they go full scale if you inadvertently load any water into the (main filler RHS) of the tank. I find the older magnet float type rather inaccurate. I've not changed one for the other but based on look only, I'd say they are different. Placement of the hole would seem to be the most important thing. I hope that helps somehow. Clive.
