Transition through the bellcrank area is via a fibreglass tube. The readings are not linear but become more sensitive as the tank empties (full is 90L, 3/4 is 64L, 1/2 is 45L, 1/4 is 14L and 0 is absolutely nothing. This system can only be installed before closeout of the wing. I strongly suggest that anyone going this way should put small locating funnels on the openings in the rib holes so that probes can be easily slid back in if replacement is required.
