REFLECTOR: Low Fuel Warning Sensor - Header Tank

[Rene Dugas]

Mine fit but rewiring for three wires.  Mine still blinks rarely at over 8000 ft when the wings rock a little or I get a little asymmetry in fuel levels and the lt tank is draining into the sump more rapidly I think causing bubbles.  My guess.
