		  Dana,

  

 If the attachment comes through you can see how the Exmark Turf Tracer 5 gal. tank fits nicely in gravity-feed position. 	


 That looks a lot like a tank I have laying around (a friend gave it to me for a generator but i never used it).  Only hassle might be mounting it.  It's not transparent; do you have some kind of fuel gauge?

I had planned on fabricating my ownsimiliar to what you see on coffee urns, but I sold it before it was done. To the rest of the list, my last post to Dana about personal type stuff was meantto be sent off line to him.  I guess hitting the correct button is akin to rocketscience, about which I'm pretty uninformed.

Well, this weekends fuel sender experiment was successful.



I have added a fuel level gage to my  E1 instrument by hooking up a regular float type fuel sender to the instruments Oil-Pressure sensing line.



Now a have a fuel level indicator with a low fuel alarm as well....hooray!



Stratomaster E1  3.5" instrument now shows:

- Hobbs time 

- Elapsed Time

- EGT

- CHT

- RPM

- Fuel Level



With alarm settings and red warning light/flashing display on each!



Thats a lot of bang for your buck in a $199 digital instrument....cant say enough good about it, and it saves a ton of dash space.



And who said its not rocket science.....of course it is...and that makes it fun as well.....Monkey learning the switches.......so far only three....instrument panel power, Ignition and choke.



The Flying part is coming up next.....and the resulting pictures/movies

 Dave, I tried to reply offline but my emails are being bounced by your mail server.  Apparently it's blacklisted my entire ISP.
