Fuel gauges

[Horis]

Wing fuel gauges. My left one reads 26 gallons and there is 41 gallons in the tank. The right one which was installed backwards (with the gauge on the inboard side and the gauge upside down) reads 28 gallons when there is 31 gallons in the tank. They are both in error on the correct side, but one is too far off and the other has to be turned around. Thoughts please. Also thoughts and experiences with WetWingologists??

I was following your plight which you posted in the Bravo Forum.  There is a topic here somewhere showing the parts in the wing sight gauge.  Can't find it now.  The panel can be installed (rotated 180 degrees) with the gauge outboard or inboard.  It should be inboard so it is easiest to read from inside the cockpit.  Seems like a rookie mistake for the shop to install one inboard and one outboard. (and to not remember how it was when you delivered it to them)

Were they accurate before you took the plane to WetWingologists?

They should pay your local shop to fix their screwup and get the gauges installed correctly.
