Title: Fuel level sensor

Al,

 

I have also used the probes from Skysport.

It was not easy to find a good place to install the probe in Velocity.

 

If the probe enters top of the tank as you did, the head of the probe must locate on the wing.

I thought it would look ugly and obstruct the air flow on the wing.

 

So I put the probe entering the side of the fuselage.

Since I worry about the fuel leakage, I bonded it by microglass.

I used bendable probes and bended it in two places such that it could measure the fuel at the top of the tank.

Woudl I be the only one who installed the capacity type probe inside the fuselage?

Gordon;

 

I got my sender unit from Skysport (810-735-9433).  $85 including mounting flange.  I got the 12" probe; unit mounts in fuselage, prob entering top of tank, then bending down (1" radius) angling outward to near the bottom.
