Re: REFLECTOR:Low fuel lightNow THAT is interesting! If the flow of =
fuel is actually pushing the float down, the solution would be to change =
to the GEMS optical presence switch instead of the mechanical float =
switch. However, Rene' reported that this is an unusual, brief event =
during cruise. I would think that if it's the sensor or its =
installation that it would occur fairly regularly.

In this same discussion a year or two ago, it was determined in one =
case, that the fuel flow itself towards the float was forcing it down, =
causing the low fuel indication.
