Many of us have found, and the factory confirmed when I spoke to them, that the standard float style sump level switch is prone to issues. It can sink at high angle of attack and power settings, particularly at altitude. Folks have come up with a couple of solutions.


Gems Optical Sensor

It's a VP03E, just follow the link for purchasing information. This is a powered (12V) optical sensor that senses the presence of fluid that is reasonable impervious to fuels, and is a direct screw-in replacement for the factory system.
