Frank, i was referring to cartrm. Was just using mine as an example

[cartrm]

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have two gauges - one for the left side and one for the right, each maxing out at 59.5 gal/354 lbs.

Both fuel selectors only have L-Off-R. There is no Aux option. There is also only one fill point on each wing.

Yes yours only has one fill with three or four tanks interconnected can't remember. If you need full tanks. Fill one side full then go fill the other tank then come back to the first tank and top up then go to the other and top it up It takes a bit for fuel to flow between tanks

Thanks Frank. So am I correct that there would be a sender in each tank, however many tanks there are, as well as a monitor on each side? I'm trying to understand the pennycap system to get a better idea on what it would take to put in the CiES senders and a new fuel gauge.

Do you have a parts catalog. All the info will be in their. I sold my 73P model in 1994 cant remember that far back

Why not install a FF totalizer and forget about the analog gauges? Analogs are only good for govt work - Only have to be correct when tanks are empty!

Yeah when I'm ready to redo the panel I'm going to be looking at a totalizer and primary engine monitor to replace the cluster. But after my annual, that will probably be a project for next year. In the meantime I'm trying to figure out of the inop gauge is truly shot or if there is a simple fix to get it going again.

Thank for this. Quite surprised that anything from Textron/Cessna would be free...
