Michael et all.
The sensor must be mounted at the lowest point in the fuel system. I Tee'd
off the water drain on one side of the tank. The sensor is mounted right on
the end of the T and I have it bonded to the floor of the aircraft under the
baggage bay on the pilot's side. The Electronics is mounted very close by.
The sensor is supposed to be impervious to chemicals. I have run auto gas
for 20 months with no ill effect.

Hi Paul, Hi Tony,
just a question regarding the pressure sensor. Do you mount the sensor at
the lowest point possible or above max fuel level. The reason for this
question is: If mounted above max fuel level then how would you detect a
small air leak over time on a fuel tank? I would see the tank going empty by
just some very tiny air leak. If you have the sensor at the bottom level:
How chemical resistant is the pressure sensor and what is the possibility
that the fuel varnish inside the tubes and the sensor and causes a blockage
with the worst kind scenario a full reading on an empty tank? I am part
owner on a C150 with auto fuel STC. When we got the plane the plane was
sitting for a while and the fuel varnished and gummed up all the drain
valves etc. Also a EAA member brought a piece of rubberized fuel line into
our meeting. The fuel line was totally destroyed by the mogas.
Thanks
