Longitudinally - mid way along the flat bit between the head rests.
Laterally - outside the headrest by about 2" max. A vertical there goes to
the deepest part next to the tunnel. Not sure about a fat capacitance gauge,
but the pipette gauge work was all done there. Small tank must be similar.
But with the pressure gauge, you can curve the tube at the bottom so it can go
almost anywhere. I have done tests just behind the headrest as far out towards
the fuselage as it will go, which keeps the outlet out of the way and leading
straight into the headrest. Why do we call them headrests. Midgets wouldn't
be able to see out forwards (:-)))
