My humble effort is to try to use the hardware that came from the factory, even if it merely gets it back to only level factory...
Thanks Scott for your reply. I understand the dielectric constant can be all over the map, and especially over time, for the reasons you state. But the fundamental problem I'm trying to fix is the intermittent issues, not the accuracy. I would venture that even airlines don't have super accurate...
I'm taking a fresh look at the Pennycap fuel system as an electronics engineer. I tried to fix a fuel monitor before it was sent back as a core ($750!!). It had a good side and a bad side, so I had some opportunity to look at it on my test bench. Here's what I found.
1) The...
I noticed this thread is from 2012 - probably solved long ago.
What I immediately saw was that he has already rotated and is climbing. The only thing that could be affecting this is aerodynamic forces causing some fluttering of a part.
If he has wheel pants, he should take a look at the...
