fuel sending units/Shadin totalizers

[Bob Cook]

OOPS
guess the earlier guages are different. sorry for the misleading information.

BTW when I am down in the islands I take a roll of XMAS tape (colorful) and tape the fuel doors, oil doors to make sure no one has tampered with the fuel when leaving the AC unattended. I will then make sure the FUEL ON BOARD is correct if the tape has been altered or removed.

You can calibrate the shadin to fairly easily. Mine is within 5% accuracy and always indicates less than actual.

I think Mark's point is spot on - and important. I have a Shadin, have found it to be extremely accurate, and depend on it, along with a time flown/estimated fuel used plot. BUT, as he rightly points out, if you're leaking fuel somewhere the Shadin isn't going to show it. I rely on the Shadin, but also maintain at least my main fuel gauges as a cross check.

If you're still looking fuel sending units, I bought two Aux sending units for $50 each. New surplus! These are wrapped in original wrapping and are in original boxes. This guy ONLY has the Aux! BUT at $50 each it will help in the overall costs. Just check E-Bay under "Skymaster".
