Don't give up on Skysport. Keep hammering at the "clerical
shield" and you should eventually get through to an engineer.

anybody know the signal output from a Skysport, capacitance type fuel level
probe? I bought it a few years back intending to use a Westach (or
Mitchill) panel gauge, and got a probe for a 0 – 90 Ohm gauge. Now
I want to run the signal to my engine monitor system with digital display.</font></font></span></div>

I have called and e-mailed Skysport, and all I have been able to do is
confirm that it is for a 0-90 Ohm gauge, which doesn’t answer the question.
Further inquiry has so far gone unanswered. I’d like to avoid , if
possible, uninstalling the probe to make measurements just for concerns
of leaks; and I’m not ready to fill the tank with fuel.</font></font></span>
