We don't have a fuel gauge on our E27 and are planning to add one. With a metal tank and being mid-season, we're looking for something that is non-intrusive to avoid fuel contamination, sparks, and the need to remove the tank. Pumping out the tank is fine for determining empty condition, but I don't want to go through the process of removing all residual fuel and fumes if I don't have to.
My immediate thought went to ultrasonic. Has anyone added one before? If so, what did you use, how did you afix it to the tank, what gauge did you bring the sender into, and where did you mount the gauge?
If you used another method that did not require opening up holes in the tank (besides the handy stick method), what did you use?
If fully emptying the tank of liquid and fumes has proven easy and you managed to drill and fully clean the tank with it still in the boat, how did you do it?
Sorry, for packing so much in here but for comfort we'd rather get this done sooner rather than later.
