KRNetHeads,
Some of y'all might recall that when I built my main fuel tank, the fuel gauge
worked at the time of construction, because I tested it. But after sitting for
a few years, the first time I filled it with fuel it was dead. I suspected
that the sender's windings had been coated with
On my KR2, the fuel gauge is a plain and simple sight gauge (clear plastic
tubing linked to the top and bottom of the tank).
One mystery I was never able to solve is that the gauge has a lag. When
the tank is amost full, it takes forever before the level drops, then it
suddenly drops when the t
drop as you speak of.

Serge,
I installed sight tubes on my Renegade and on my KR. The tubes from the tank
to the sight gauge must be fairly straight. If they have a loop in them, there
will be a siphon effect that will make it hang up until the head gets great
enough to overcome it. It took me quite a while to ge

Mark,
Thanks, Jerry said that this tested good also, when he was calibrating it
many many years ago. I will stick a wire in the tank and see if I can lift
the float. I sure hope that is all it is, because I don't think that I can
get this gauge out of the panel without taking the panel off because

I'm thinking fuel pressure gauges, and all I can find locally is the mechanical

I was after an electric one with a pressure sender to keep any potential leaks
outside the cockpit.
What do most use ? is the mechanical type with a capillary tube acceptable ??

If you are not using a gravity flow system to feed the carb, it is highly
advisable to use a fuel pressure gauge. Among other things, the pressure gauge
allows you to verify that both pumps are working correctly prior to takeoff as

Most low wing planes measure full pressure. it is measured at the carb. If
you have 1 psi of fuel pressure you have enough fuel flow unless you are

How can you tell if you have a capacitance or a resistance gauge?
