REFLECTOR: FUEL GAUGE MYSTERY

[KeithHallsten]

Tom,

As instrumentation goes, you can't get any simpler than a sight gauge.  I suspect that you just have a bubble trapped in the sight glass by surface tension.  If it hasn't corrected itself by seepage overnight, probably a few touch and goes will provide enough agitation to do the trick.  All this, of course, assumes that the tank in question is actually full!

  Anyone ever have this happen?

   

  I recently re-filled my fuel tanks after I had drained them to do W&B ... then I ran into this mystery!

   

  The sight gauge on the right side shows no fuel!  Before draining the tanks it worked just fine ... but now nothing is registering???   Any ideas?
