Aspen2013 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I have 2008 acclaim with TKS. The system works great. Pumps, all the surfaces ,etc. The only thing not working is the digital readout showing gallons of fluid remaining. We filled the tank thinking a stuck float. That didn’t unstick it. Still reads zero. Took apart panels under back seat. I see pumps and tubes but don’t really see sensor. Anyone have an idea where to look and what may be the problem?

milotron Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Sorry, but all I can add from experience with my plane is that the level sensor is at the front of the tank, as it reads a lower level on the ground then when the plane is level in the air.. Pretty sure you need to get to it from the bottom access panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIm20c Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hopefully @Yooper Rocketman will stop by. I think it has something to do with the float filling with fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeaky.stow Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 My tank had been empty for over a year when I bought the plan and I had the same issue. The float sticks to the bottom of the tank. It’s not easy to get into the tank to pry it loose but it can be done. I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly how as my AME did it. I have had no problem since then because I always keep fluid in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j3gq Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Have you tried to talk to Jason Jennings, at the Cav Systems US Office (tech. support) ?
