[C320-list] Temperature and fuel gauge

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Rick & Jim,

Fuel gauge problems were discussed in the May 2009 Mainsheet  
(http://www.catalina320.com/article.php/20090718083201878).
That article may help. We also have data from the gauge manufacturer  
(Teleflex) on the website  
(http://www.catalina320.com/filemgmt/index.php?id=94).
You may have to log into the website to be able to see the articles if the  
above links do not work. This is some of that valuable "members-only"  
information.
