We do have an instrument that will work with the original Cessna senders but if the sender/s require any work you are better off changing to the CiES.
Can you use the orignial Cessna fuel guage senders with these?
This is a 182 with bladder tanks that I calibrated new CEIS senders recently with a Garmin EIS. The bladders don’t collapse as the tank empties.
I think 2g was concerned about accuracy when the bladder has collapsed because it isn’t full. Does that happen? I don’t know if bladders are glued in place, or are just lying there.
Fuel tanks are always calibrated with the aircraft in level flight attitude, with the aircraft on the ground.
I got it wrong in post #1, as A-Logic don’t use resistive senders, so I’d be seriously interested to know whether their ‘magnetic field technology’ would perform OK with our bladder tanks. We’d like to delay replacing the tanks as our budget has a few other priorities to deal with.
Edit 1- our posts crossed – thanks, will be in contact.
Edit 2 – I’m curious to know how one calibrates float-type senders – in the cruise? On the ground? I’ll get hold of the installation manual.
We have hundreds of customers flying bladder tanks with float type senders and our instruments. The combined system can easily provide +/- 1USG and better accuracy with the CiES sender. The calibration process maps the fuel level relative to sender and bladder movement to create a specific, one-of, performance curve for each tank.
@Aerospace_Logic rather than just posting an advertisement, can you answer the question in post #1?
You may want to take a look at this short video from one of our customers. Both senders and our instrument are covered under our EASA STC.
Thanks
