Hello.
I've been testing and calibrating the fuel level sender. It's a 240-33 Ohm one and I have a behaviour I don't know if it's right.
Header tank is 7 liters and I get these values every 500 ml (ml:raw value):
0: 3908
500: 3908
1000: 3908
1500: 3908
2000: 3908
2500: 3908
3000: 3908
3500: 3908
4000: 3908
4500: 3908
5000: 3908
5500: 2730
6000: 2730
6500: 1938
7000: 1938
7300: 1930
The value only changes twice. Fron 0 to 5 liters, the raw value is always the same.
I have an analogue indicator too and it changes continuosly.
Any hint about this behaviour?
Thank you.
Connections are as follow:

Hello.
Disconnect the analog indicator. It is forcing about 6V to the RDAC FL input through it's internal resistor bridge

Re: Raw values from level tank
Is the Fuel Level Pull Up resistor enabled on the DIP switch?

Hi.
I've tried both positions for FL1 DIP switch.

Solved.
I installed a switch to select one or other level gauges. Normally connected to Efis and the analog one as a backup/check.
