after taking the wings off and putting them back on my fuel gauge doesnt
seem to work normally and actually can be intermittent. It does have power to
the gauge and the low level lights. The gauge reads empty with a low level light
on one side and the other side is intermittent.

the sensor. I would like to test the sensor to gauge continuity to make sure
everything is good there. I believe I hooked up all the canon plugs and the 
electrical
plugs at the wing connection. However, if anybody knows what the wire
connectors look like for the fuel gauges that would really help. Maybe I missed
one.

Sam - are you sure you are in the right place to ask this question?

I have heard of many mods for Europas but fuel tanks in the wings is a new one
on me. Just for the avoidance of doubt, what aircraft type are you talking 
about?
