I am needing to hook up my wing tanks. I have a capacitor setup. What converter would you recommend? Thanks Danny Holder
I am using glass advance panel with an Engine Monitoring Controller. Yes, no float. Using capacitance setup. ThanksMore detailed info needed. What/who’s fuel gauge or EIS are you using? You mean not a float but capacitance setup? Me, no converter , what is it converting
The Dynon converters work fine with my Van's capacitance system.I used Dynon's capacitance to voltage converter.

...I believe they may be under a different name now, you'll have to ask someone else. They do require power, ground and signal wires, though. +5V IIRC.
Exactly how bad are the Dynon converters? Thats what I bought to integrate in my G3X system based on the recommendation of my Avionics guy. I know they work, but I haven't calibrated my fuel tanks yet to see how accurate they may or may not be.Here's a vote against the Dynon converters. I couldn't get them to work well. They worked, just didn't have enough resolution mid-range to show correct fuel levels as they only used a small portion of the 0-5V range.
I replaced them with the Princeton 2-point converters, and those have worked beautifully for a decade now. I believe they may be under a different name now, you'll have to ask someone else. They do require power, ground and signal wires, though. +5V IIRC.
