Working an older (2003) RV-7 slow build, but this probably cuts across a few different models, so here goes...
Bought the fuel capacitance sender option with the wing kit. Now it's getting near time to start working on the tanks. Don't want to start the 'float vs cap.' debate (I liked the idea someone posted of having both, just in case!).
My question are:
- whether or not to install the Vans cap. sender which I already have, or are there other newer units which are vastly superior.
- will my older sender units even be compatible with newer glass instrumentation and converter units?
- any thoughts from folks who have the original Vans units installed?
At this point I consider the $ spent on the Vans units as long since gone, but I do have them and the plans from Vans for them: my goal is to have a reliable system with a minimum of mods from the plans - this project has taken long enough!
Thanks in advance!
PS don't plan on mixing fuel types, and do plan on getting fuel flow transducer when the time comes
