MEP-802 Fuel Gauge Full all the time.

[ECS]

The fuel gauge is reading full all the time so it will not auto-refuel.

I suspect it maybe stuck, and if that is the case how do I free it up? I'm not sure how to check it?

Do you reach through the filler area or remove some panel?

or is it likely some other problem?


This thing is near new with only 17 hours. It had 12 on it when I got it and it ran until it ran the tank dry.

Thanks,

Check electrical connections and grounding. Then pull the TM and check out the diagram of .............

10 PAOZZ PAOZZ 30554 88-20061 ..SWITCH LIQUID LEVEL

I had to reach into the fuel tank and 'exercise' the liquid level switches. The floats sometimes hang up. You should check condition of the crud inside the tank, too. It might need some cleaning.

The gauge has nothing to do with the replenish function. Two different functions. Would suggest you read the TM's a bit. The procedure for checking/inspecting the FL-1 and FL-2 functions, Engine shut off in low fuel situation and the replenish function are described in the -24 TM.

Thats like asking 'where is my government overreach'? Don't invite problems where they dont exist.

Thanks ... I see it now on the diagram.
