Hi Tony
It would be useful to have a sight gauge that worked in the air as well.
On
AC I have a fuel computer and tank capacitance gauge but no sight gauge.
This makes me ask the question 'What would I do if one or the other
showed a
sudden loss in volume?' probably assume it was an instrument problem
rather
than a major fuel leak? Under that circumstance a third, all be it
somewhat
inaccurate, indication would be invaluable.
Regards
Pete

Subject: {Spam?} Europa-List: Original Sight Gauge Replication
Gidday,
I am interested in installing a fuel sight gauge for "PRE-flight"
interpretation. I am wondering if there is any recommendation that makes
the
setup more effective or accurate. I'm also wondering if there is any
value
in having two small ball valves to be able to isolate it, both in a
rollover
or to simply turn it off. I am using flexible Aeroquip fuel hose, and
will
be using a fuel computer as my primary means of knowing my fuel state,
PLUS,
I have a Fuel tank capacitance gauge. Maybe with the capacitance I don't
need a sight gauge at all, but I have the plumbing in my fuel tank
outlet
fittings, so it seems sensible to use it. Any help much appreciated.
Regards

This is a picture of the small valves I "could" use, and the 1/4" ID
line I
intend to use on a sight gauge setup.
