Any recommendations for an electronic fuel gauge?

So has anyone pulled the trigger and actually installed the CiES fuel senders yet? I pulled the left tanks at annual to re-cork the tank straps and now the gauges are shot. I am looking at CiES and any other option out there. I still have the Stewart gauges and would prefer something to work with them for now until I am in a position to get an engine monitor. Anybody know of any other fuel sender options?

Yes, I’ve put CiES senders and a JPI960 in my plane. The installation required a little debugging (it turns out that the senders should not be grounded to the airframe - I think that was the problem), but once that was solved they are quite nice. Another Skymaster in the area also upgraded but used three sensors per tank instead of the two per tank that I’ve got and as a result I think they have more accuracy in the middle of the range.
