The Glasair line does use a center section standpipe for a capacitive probe.
I don't necessarily have a picture of your tank configuration, but why not put a flange in the side wall of the fuel tank and mount the probe there? Mine were done that way with the probe bent up towards the top of the tank, then angled down to the bottom of the tank. Drill a .060" hole in the tube at the highest point to prevent air locking. It works quite well, although as pointed out, it may not necessarily be linear due to tank shape. Once in, all you need to do is set the zero and span, and it's good to go. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2015 at 11:29 AM > From: "Robert Pesak via KRnet" <krnet at list.krnet.org> > To: "Mark Langford" <ml at n56ml.com>, KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> > Subject: Re: KR> fuel probe in tank > > I'm not concerned about electrical connections in or near the fuel.
