fuel sensors start to detect a change, the displayed fuel level should be accurate.

4. Improper Calibration - If the FL-2 has not been properly calibrated it will not display accurate fuel levels

in the tanks. It is important you verify the accuracy of the FL-2.

5. Poor Connections - Poor connections in the wires leading from the FL-2 to the fuel sensors can become

intermittent with age. An intermittent connection will most likely show up as wandering or inaccurate

readings on the FL-2.

6. Defective Fuel Level Sensors - Fuel sensors can become intermittent or change resistance with age. It

is not uncommon to find intermittent problems even in new sensors. We recommend Stewart Warner F-

385-CP05 resistive sensors be used with the FL-2RA. An intermittent problem with a fuel sensor will

most likely show up as wandering or inaccurate readings on the FL-2.

2. Flight Planning -2. Flight Planning -

2. Flight Planning - Always calculate the fuel requirement for each leg of the flight including any alternate

plans for bad weather. Keep this information available in the aircraft during the flight. Keep a chart of

the published fuel flows for various flight/engine conditions in the aircraft. Keep a chart of the measured

fuel flows for various flights in the aircraft. Measured fuel flows can be considerably different from

published figures. This is usually due to old inaccurate engine instruments.
