I wanted to see if anyone has had any success being able to have the Fuel level sensor monitor fuel levels when gas is mixed with Glow fuel.

extract:
"6. Fuel Level Sensor:
Is for Glow Fuel only.
"The problem with gas is that its' density is much lower than glow fuel, or water for that matter,
even with oil mixed; thus the sensors cannot detect it.
I'm not sure if we will be able to overcome this with the existing sensors.Mike."
Sensor - reason for not detecting petrol or kerosene levels
Dielectric Constant of some common Liquids
Methanol (Methyl Alcohol) (31.1 ) (33.1 at 68° F)
Petroleum 2.0-2.2
Kerosene (70° F) 1.8 "

Thank you for the reply. It seems to me that one member was successful in getting the sensor to work with teh additon of 10% nitro. My question is, 10% nitro added (if so what was the final ratio gas:nitro), or is it a solution of 10% total.

A.T.

With limited knowledge of liquid mechanics, believe ratio would vary depending upon bothclimate and elevation.
Trial and error at perhaps littlecost does oftenproduce surprisong results.
. Will not damage the sensor nor HTS-SS, but beware asfew tank bungs are able to
withstand both Nitro and Petrol which is why Sullivan & Du-Broprovide separate materials.
