REFLECTOR: Sump Light Blinking

[Ruben Creus]

In my case the vent is on top, but I had the blinking issue anyway. I
thought that the problem was air bubble related but after troubleshooting
realized that the problem was related to the vibrations that the engine
causes. 

 

My sensor was a float type. I replaced the sensors by and Omega ultrasonic
sensor and all bilking problems were gone. The ultrasonic sensor is not
affected by position or vibrations. If fuel is there will read it. It works
great.

My vent is from the top of the sump. I still havea blinking warning light. I

Well now I have a common problem I have a blinking sump light. I am using
the Gem Optical sensor 

for the sump. I have heard several times that people have used a delay relay
to stop the blinking. 

Has any on put a Vent in the top of the sump tank to purge  out all of the
air. I built my sump per the 

manual. and the vent tube come through  the side of the sump allowing for
air to get trapped in the 

top of the sump. I though I would move the vent to the top of the sump tank
with a hard point glued in 

to remove more of the air from the tank. Has  any one done this and had a
success 

of failure here.
