Fuel Sender Pic Location


WAFI

Recommended Posts

Every Mooney has a pair behind the cabin wall cover…

It is good to get a look at them and see the rubber fuel line connector as well…

These are potential sources of fuel drips as the parts age….

Larger fuel tanks have a second fuel level sensor on the outer end of the tank…

There is a picture of one posted around here recently…

Best regards,

KB is showing a great pic…

A) is the sender that often doesn’t get a new seal, with proper torque on the screws….

B ) is the rubber connector on the fuel line that suffers from mage issues over the decades…

This is an unbelievably clean area…  nice work KB!

Often, there is decades of dirt that settles in the area and many blue stains….

Best regards,

Sort of related to the fuel sender lines of inquiry, (didn't want to start a new line) I am looking for some guidance as to under which panel I'll find the wiring to the outboard fuel sender.  I need to check the wiring to the outboard sender (looking for a broken wire) and didn't want to guess.  I have a K 231 and there's a whole lotta panels in its wings.  

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.  I went through the manuals again and I decided to start there too.  I thought that the tanks extended further, but the outboard rib from the filler would be a logical place to start.

Use extra caution regarding guessing where the fuel isn’t… 

Better to start too far away… and have to open another panel…

Than to have fuel leak out of the first screw… 

Best to use a manual screw driver…

Power driver, opening the wrong inspection panel, lit a young Mooney mechanic on fire… (best to be avoided)

PP thoughts only… this occurred at my home drome… years ago…

Best regards,
