[C320-list] Fuel gauge

[Dick Walker]

I disregard the unit. It is only good +\~ 20%. You can count on the engine using .6 gal per hour. Keep a ships log and use the hour meter to log fuel consumption. This has worked for me 20 years.

I even ran out of fuel because I did not have an accurate gauge. Not sure if I should just go ahead and purchase a new sending unit or if there's some troubleshooting I should do first. I did check the connections on the unit and at the gauge and they are all clean. Thanks Michael 169 Nauti Clew
