Sorry Ed I put Dave just me having a senior moment.

Ed
I am only trying to help and of course try to save you time and money, it goes to say that the newer the system these days the more test equipment is needed to fault find and calibrate the system, ie it would be nice to have a Garmin G1000 but who can repair it when it goes wrong, Garmin!

The fuel gauging systems in GA aircraft is rubbish, however the old float type could be made to work quite well, then Cessna went on to this superduper capacitance system and well you have the end result.

I have said that this system CANNOT be troubleshooted with a screwdriver and a DVM, you need a test box with the adapter cables.

Good luck and let me know.

Regards
Pete
