I don't know about the Westach, but the Princeton can be calibrated. I Fellow netters; I designed and built my own capacitive fuel gauge on N54PB and it works great, very accurate. I designed the baffle as a large capacitor inside the tank. The tank is constructed of fiberglass with 2 aluminum plates sealed in a layer of fiberglass and small bolts and washers to hold the plates apart. This setup allows fuel to flow between the small space between the plates at all attitudes. The capacitance of the plates changes with the level of the fuel between the plates. My tank holds 20 gallons and the gauge is accurate within .5 gallons. Let me know if any further information is needed or if I can be of assistance to anyone.
