Hi All,
Yes to Grahams point, the fuel gauge system that Tony designed
calibrates to any shape. For those who aren't aware of Tony's gauge
system it works by weighing the contents of the fuel tank. It uses a
sensor in the lowest point of the tank which is connected to an
analogue to digital converter. A microprocessor uses a set of look up
tables that you create during the calibration processes to compensate
for the tank shape. The output can be either a 10 segment bar graph
or a signal to drive a conventional analogue meter.
Although not as simple, this system gets around the issues associated
with sight gauges, and IMHO, is far superior to any capacitance or
float system
I have had mine in place since May 2004 and it has worked faultlessly.
