After further inquires I now get this response from Skysports:

Current specs are proprietary, sorry we can't share the details. Suffice =
to
say we can emulate any variable resistance sender. All probes from 4" to =
24"
are $75 with hardware.
=20
The output from a sensor I paid them for is proprietary? Go figure!

Skysports makes several types of fuel senders. If you purchased the =
probes
through Velocity, they are 12v IN and 0-5v OUT.

Subject: REFLECTOR:Skysport fuel level probe
=20
Does 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.
=20
I don't know what the signal output from the probe is - or the range. 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.
=20
Figured it couldn't hurt to ask, I've gotten lots of useful input from =
this
group over the years; and it is greatly appreciated.
