Sometimes I think the engineers just need something to do to justify their wages. That would explain why something so simple gets way over-engineered 🤪
Interesting. I’ve never seen such a level sensor that can operate a full range gauge. I’ve seen many different kinds level switches though that can turn on and off indicator lights etc. That is high tech.
Sounds reasonable! Is the MEP-10xx series unit a single float on a rod with (3) different docking points? I would think that the fuel gauge would still require a variable resistance while the low fuel shutdown and the auxiliary pump would be fine with an on/off setup.
I know that it does serve a purpose. My wheels were just turning, trying to come up with a simple solution if the dual float switches are either no longer available, or they’re just way over priced. I was trying to prioritize the low fuel shutdown versus the auxiliary fuel pump operation. I...
Just thinking out load here. The wheels are turning! Unlike the fuel gauge sending unit which is basically just a variable resistor, the dual float the we’re talking about in this thread I believe is more of an on/off switch for two different purposes. One float I believe is to activate the low...
