That is OK if you only use one type of fuel. If you calibrate it with Mogas
and then use Avgas you will get an inaccurate reading.

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Mod 60 Europa Fuel Gauge
--> <clive.maf@googlemail.com>
Hello Alan,
I did MOD60 on my last Europa and used the Airworld capacitance probe bent
and cut to length through a new hole near the RH seat headrest. 3 reasons
for choosing the capacitance probe: 1) i think it and the supplied gauge
are more accurate than the float type, 2) if i ever got water in the tank
the capacitance gauge would go full scale - so an indication in all
circumstances other than 'just filled up with fuel' - that water may be
present and 3) i already had the float type in the LHS of the tank as well -
AND the manometer quantity indicator - so I had several sources of info to
cross-check with - yes i'm paranoid about the shame of inadvertently running
out of fuel! Based on that experience, if i had to choose one method, I'd
choose the capacitance probe.
