..... The fuel gauge consists of a direct reading float type mounted near the centerline of the aircraft. Before installing the guage permanently, you should make sure that it will not interfere with the elevator control rod CS13 which runs from the control stick to elevators. .....A length of 1/4" wood dowel obtained from a hard¬ware store is bonded with epoxy into a carved urethane foam float nominally 1" diameter by 1.25" high. This float assembly will float up and down with the fuel level. It rides inside a clear PVC pipe tube that you will calibrate with marks showing fuel quantity. Some points to remember are that the wood dowel should extend about 1.5" above the top of the main fuel tank, that the length of the clear PVC pipe is governed by the travel of the wood dowel, and that the float assembly should be fitted to the fuel tank prior to mounting the fuel tank in the fuselage permanently. |
