Thanks Al and Jim,

Jim I've search MAM web site and builders support and I'm unable to locate
article. Do
you have the URL. Does anyone else dislike the new MAM Web site. The old
version, pre
JAVA was much more easier to navigate, less flash more function. Lets hope
they
simplfy it after this latest survey MAM is doing.

Hi Monty
Here is a copy of the post I sent to MAM ... mostly the same info plus some
phone numbers for Westach.... they will send you out there "aircraft style "
(
i.e. not approved for certified aircraft) catalog for free ,,, lot of neat
stuff that is priced lower than certified aircraft gauges.
Good luck sealing the tanks ..... Jim

I installed a Capacitance Fuel System from Westach.. Westberg MFG Inc. (707)
938-2121 (also in Aircraft Spruce Cat.) Total cost for two probes and a dual
gauge was $220. The probes I used were 24 inches long. The first 5 inches
are
bendable and the last 19 inches are used to measure the fuel quantity of the
tank. The probe is installed in the upper forward root rib were the cross
vent
would be ( I had to move the cross vent back a little ) There is a hockey
puck
size base of the probe which houses the electrical stuff . Due to the size
of
the base the 1/4 in pipe is first bent up then curved back toward the aft
bottom of the tank. The probe runs diagonally, from the forward top to the
aft bottom, next to the root rib. This helps correct for tail down or for
flight attitude. You MUST drill a very small vent hole in the highest part
of
the tube to allow fuel to flow up and down in the tube . I have tested the
system and found it to be very accurate even showing 1/2 GAL changes on the
gauge , also the fuel in the tube is damped from wing rocking motion... For
more information, e-mail me at JimsRebel@aol.com
