Fuel guage

[Ruune]

I seriously doubt it... manufacturers only do recalls in the case of a safety issue- i.e. if there was a short in the electronics going to the fuel sending unit that could cause a fire (EXAMPLE ONLY).

Doing a recall is the legal equivalent of admitting theres a problem, and has ramifications of its own.

2 years 2 months and counting...

I think Tige should just supply you all with a wood stick pre-cut to fit your boat.

What would we complain and argue about? I suppose we'd be complaining about the inaccuracy of the marks on the wood

[kskjbuzz]

Well said. People will always have somthing to complain about. Just learn how to read your boat and you won't run out. Don't try and push it just because your in a hurry, fill the damn boat up.

fuel gage

Its nothing more than a poor sender. Tige sent two different models to me. The second one has worked perfectly for 2 years now. Accurate from full to empty.

The stick may be too technical for the tige R&D.

I what to know who actually tries to use all the gas in the tank?
Do you drive your car untill the gage is below E. (I never let it get below ¼)

On an early post some one said that I guy ran his boat down to 5 gallons and the boat died.
On my boat it would take at least 3 gallons just to get the bottom of the tank wet.
(My tank is about 24”w X 48”l X 4”h)
Why would I what to get that close to sucking air?

May the fuel guage on Charlie Pigeon's plane be as accurate as the one on my 2006 24ve.

That will fix the problem.

Fuel Flow Gauge on 2003 PCM 330

Tige M.D. Does the 03 PCM 330 Excaliber have a return fuel line I should be concerned with or will the Fuel Flow systems discussed here work like a champ? Also please clarify filter size recomendations for inline fuel filters before flow system. THANKS A BUNCH! Im looking forward to accurate gas reading in 07.

BTW I like the much earlier suggestion of reading in dollars per hour instead of gallons. This would make for easier gas bill discussions at the end of sessions. Got Ga$?

Speaking of fuel gauges and fuel flow meters, my dealer told me that SpeedSet on Tiges have the fuel flow meter readout. Since its tied in to the ECM it will tell you how much GPH is used.

I asked why the dont have the option to display it and his reply was "Most people would rather not know how much money/fuel is being consumed."

On the 06's (from what I understand) the Fiara gauges are flow meter ready, all you have to do is install the transducer (sensor) into the fuel line and plug unto the back of the gauge and "ta da"

Has anyone done this? does it work?
Where can I get a tranducer?

[chpthril]

It's on my list of upgrades. My 'used to be dealer' gave me a web site, but they didn't show a transducer, just a kit w/ gauge. Maybe Lee, or Dom @ FIC might chime in with where to get it.
