Fuel Probe for Main Tank
|
Corbin <c_geiser@...>
I am not sure which fuel probe I have in my main tank. I am needing to configure it with the new avionics so I was curious if there was a most common one used in most builds and I could try using that one in the setup. If not, I will pull mine and look.
Thanks. FYI....flying a Pilatus to Colorado tomorrow and am looking forward to that! -- Corbin N121CG |

Hi Corbin, Well is it a float one or a Capacitive one ? What instrument did
it feed before ? Lucky man, the Pilatus is a great aircraft. Watch those hills !!

Thanks…departing just after sunrise to make sure I can see every hill. I believe it is very similar to this one: https://kus-usa.com/product/sss-ssl-sender/ |

Its 11 00 in the morning here sunrise has well departed. :-) Thats a good quality sender, provided you make sure the
casing is bonded electrically its a simple two wire ohmic output.
Is there not a part number on the casing or top ? You could try a safety ohmmeter across the leads and see what
resistance there is. It might give you a clue. It is probably easier to check with it on the bench. I'm using a capacitive version, so no moving parts. Connections and Fuel calibration should be in your install
manual. Rich T On 06/05/2022 10:06, Corbin via

Funny, I was just looking at fuel sensors and which one to put into my tank.

The one we used on the triQ years ago was from Sport flight and was a capacitance probe. Just cut to length and installed in the tank just in front of the panel. Worked great.
