Best fuel management system is still a fuel stick and a wrist watch with a healthy reserve. 

I have never seen a fuel system in a small aircraft (including EMAX in the Cirrus or any other fuel totalizer) that I would trust with my or my family's lives.

>> Hi All,
>> I've been doing some experimenting / fabricating with getting my fuel sending units installed in my SERG.  I wanted to come up with a means of flush fitting them inside the fuselage and I came up with this, please see attached picture.
>> 
>> I made a mold for this part so I could replicated it for both sides which gives the added benefit of being able to reproduce them reasonably easily.  I wanted to see if anybody in the Velocity community would be interested in a set.  I'm not sure how long it would take for me to fabricate a set and I haven't really settled on a price yet.  I was hoping to gauge demand here.  If you're interested, please feel free to drop me an email offline at: peter.braswell at gmail.com.
