Gene,


These's a drain hole in the probe?


Also, it happens on both of my tanks simultaneously. I have trouble
imagining how that could be a probe problem.

Colyn:


I had the same indications early in my 40 hours testing in just the right
tank. I replaced the conversion module - did not help. I talked with the
people at EI and they suggested maybe water in the capacitive probe.


I drained the tank and removed the probe as far as I could. I did not detect
any water in the probe, but I found the drain hole in the capacitive probe
was up instead of down. While the probe was out, drain hole up, I added some
water to the probe and the indications were very similar to what I was
experiencing with the probe in the tank. I marked the probe and made sure
the drain hole was down when reinstalled.


The probe worked after reinstallation and I have not had a problem since.

long as we're talking electrical problems:


I have ei capacitive fuel probes with princeton converters and a grt engine
monitor (like the chelton engine monitor).

My fuel level on both tanks intermittently shows zero when flying but never
on the ground.


Any idea where to look?
