Fuel Level Sensors
I am adding fox gateways to the engines to get readings directly from the source but I don't believe that will do anything for the fuel level.
Any help or advice in getting this figured out would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Fuel Level Sensors
You can go to their website and see what data is available.
Have you recently started having these problems? Is this a new install? Have they been calibrated? Did you just piggyback onto the existing fuel level sensors? What are the analog fuel guages that came on the boat doing are they reading properly? Probably need a bit more info to really help .

Re: Fuel Level Sensors
I have a access plug in the top of each tank that I can insert a 1/4" wood dowel rod. This gives me real fuel level. Yes just make sure the plug goes back in snug.

On a 3607 you should be able to stick the tanks right from the fuel fill. The fill hose goes straight down into the tank.

Re: Fuel Level Sensors
Of course this doesn't work for all boat designs.
