Well, I'm sure Shane has an explanation for your mechanic's gripes. Plus if you ever talk to him, he's got a cool accent.

I need to send that guy a bill for the other half of the labor for the fuel gauge I put in lol.

For those interested...

The offending fuel gauge:

It's a little overengineered!

And the crappy fuel sender.

Older one in the other tank.

I bet you could've just glued the needle back with some epoxy.

Bet I could have. :yes:

Though I will note that the old gauge didn't work with the new senders.

I think I've flown that plane before.
