Ahhhhhhhh..........Its like this information is just the prescription my
doctor ordered.
Sounds like SE200 and C210A are the clear-cut winners, depending on the
application! Thanks for the update on the experiment.
I got the picture link, and will print it out. Thanks for that. It will come
in handy.
I am looking for a 'packet' of info, or anything I can get about a fuel
'head' pressure measuring system (the time needed to completely reinvent
this wheel would force me to a new path, I admire the time some have spent
to create this soln). Let me know if you have info on this.
Thanks again,
Greg

We cut short sections of F4040A, SE200 and C210A filled them with auto gas
and plugged both ends. The gas eventually leaked out of all of them, but it
was out of the F4040A in a day or two, C210A about a month and SE200 took 3
months. We also put short pieces in a jar of auto gas. F4040A has
discolored and gotten much stiffer in 3 months. C210A is discolored but not
stiffer and SE200 the PVC has shrunk but the teflon liner has not changed.
So we are using SE200 for our sight gauge. For the Long Range tank feed, we
used C210A. We also measure fuel quantity with a pressure sensor similar to
Tony K's system feeding an input to our GRT EIS and the EIS calculates fuel
usage from flow transducers.
Attached is a photo of the sight gauge up the back of the cockpit module.
