I don't know what it is about your posting, but I think I have been "moved" to
reply to you more that any one else.
This fuel gauge thing is a thing with many answers. You hit my button by asking
if anyone had another way of doing it. Of course , There is always at least
two ways to do anything. Both way will work.
I have some good pictures on my EuropaOwners page showing what I did.
I used a WesTeck gauge for Aircraft Spruce. It is mounted in a standpipe / sight
gauge. It has worked flawless. I did not thing that the rotary molded tank need
a big old hole in it and so I figured out another way. Actually the idea
came to me while reading the WesTeck instruction. (so I am just a copier, it
works!)
My sight gauge is behind the right seat where it is viewable while filling
the tank. ( XS )
My 2 cents worth, and remember "I am a armature builder and this is an
EXPERIMENTAL
airplane" :)

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Fuel sender etc.
All this discussion about fuel senders/gauges etc and it all seems too
difficult and fraught with danger.
There must, I feel be a way of installing a decent gauge with a tank sender
which does not involve making a hole on the tank top within the confines of
the headrest.
Surely it is not necessary to enter the tank vertically? I think I shall
wait until something much simpler and easier to install before going for the
mod. Are there any more ideas out there?
