1.17 FUEL LEVEL MOUNTING KIT INST.
************************** WARNING ***************************************
DO NOT INSTALL PROBE INTO METAL MOUNTING FLANGE
WITHOUT FIRST APPLYING THREAD LUBRICANT OR DAMAGE
WILL OCCUR. INSURE ALL THREADS ARE FREE FROM BURRS AND
DEBRIS. WIRE LEADS OF PROBE ARE FRAGILE AND MUST NOT BE
PULLED, TURNED OR STRAINED IN ANY WAY OR DAMAGE WILL
RESULT AND VOID WARRANTY.
*******************************************************************************
The Fuel Level Probes are designed to be installed in virtually all types
of wing tank configurations. The basic objectives are to install the probe
so that it can 'sense' the fuel level change from full tank to empty tank
(i.e., the probe is wetted the least at empty tank and is wetted the most
at full tank ) and to position it in such a manner as to allow insertion and
removal.
The probe may be cut to a minimum of 16 inches in length overall
(metal end to metal end) and mounted in any direction. Internal spacers
are located approximately every foot that supports the inner rod. The
inner rod should not go unsupported for more than 2 inches. If this is
the case after you cut the probe, remove a spacer from the scrap
section and install it into the end of the probe over the inner rod and
crimp the rod to prevent it from moving.
See ‘FIGURE 4: FUEL PROBE INST. DRAWING
for an example probe installation. Consult your aircraft construction
manual for the proper techniques regarding installation, bonding, sealing
and laminating, etc. These are intended as examples only. As each tank
configuration may be different, it is your responsibility to design and
implement a proper installation method for your aircraft. The example
shows a cross section of a typical long flat wing tank. Typically the probe
enters the tank from the inboard fuel bulkhead and angles upward so
that it is 'wetted' from empty tank to full tank proportionately. INSURE
that nothing interferes with the probe such as a 'flop tube', fuel pick ups,
vents or drains, etc.
The probe may enter a fuel tank from the bottom up, or vice versa, as
long as the probe sees at least a 85% coverage change from full to
empty.
