Hi Bennie,

Have prepared a drawing showing a two tank set up with switch.

I am no electrician, so get this checked, best person may be your local Auto Electrics place.

Kind regards

Bennie,

is this for the BB. If so where did you get the fuel level sensors?

Hi Morph

Yes it is for the BB. It came sensors and meter installesd with the plane fitted with the VW motor. We just took out and redid all the instrument panel wiring and now something is not working, I might have the wrong pins on the toggel switsh. :roll:

Interesting,

I'd love to know what sender units they used. I was looking at something similar but couldn't find anything. Anyway, too late now

Ek sit nooit petrol gauges in nie. Net nog iets wat kan lek. Sit net twee liggies in wat teen die tenk skyn, dan kan jy sommer SIEN hoeveel go-go juice nog in jou tenks is. :D
