Well not just that. But that is an issue...
Opps had it backwards, thanks Mike!
This one I got actually has a setup like original. Still as accurate as a blind weather girl..
Thats the big one. Have a friend that takes the new ones and cuts a board and re wraps it. I always wondered why they never used a capacitance system like aircraft. Pretty fool proof also
Operating Principle of Capacitance Level Sensors
A guide to understanding how a capacitance level sensor works.
I am hoping if Chris is not going to use old he will sell to me....
Has anyone tried a actual reostat in there?
I think it's the shape of the tank The rectangle shape would work if the tank was the same shape.
I'll let you know Tim, for sure. Be a couple of weeks.
Just weird that every retailer has the same one.... So, somewhere, things went sideways.
OE sits about an inch off the bottom of the tank. Replacement is right down against the bottom
Prob dead on in a rectangular tank. The fuel senders were one of the systems I had to work on. Pretty interesting a bunch of tubes with a smaller tube in it usually 4 or 5 in a c-130 tank so when it banked the fuel level sent the same capacitance to the gauge. Ony way they ever failed was a wire came off usually after someone was in the fuel tank and the wires got pulled.
And look at the float arm on the first photo. It doesn't look long enough to be accurate. It will show full when the tank is about 3/4.
NOS are out there just not cheap. Actually saw one on Tempest this am, think they wanted 250.
I ordered that 64 A100 unit... Much closer to original in appearance. I'll measure it up when it arrives.

I have been looking. Bought a NOS one. Big bucks. Not NOS same bs from China.
I used that one.
Here are what it should ohm out to
Tanks are fun arent they?
Might have to order up one of those just to have in stock. While they still make them.
When I tried to return it he told me I must have switched the part. No refund. We know the creep well on this forum...I did not know that was who was selling
..
Tanks a lot
Is not very accurate
Bob strikes again! He is now banned. Only guy in a hover round I have ever cursed out!
Then gave him a beer. Pretty funny
Probably made for a square tank. If the gauge reads full when I leave the pumps and is reasonably close to empty when it says E I am pretty good with that. Mine was a Spectre (I believe) and is just on accurate wise.
