CiES Digital Fuel Quantity Senders
For Cessna, Beech, Piper, Maule, Mooney, Cirrus, and more
The CiES digital fuel quantity system utilizes a high technology sensor system that allows repeatable measurement of fuel in the aircraft tank. This sensor allows fuel measurements down to a change in fuel level to less than 0.03 of an inch. The non-contact measurement method ensures a lifetime of operation providing the same consistent fuel level output in the cockpit with modern digital fuel indication.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep contaminants out of my fuel system?
The fuel selector valve works in unscreened fuel. Contaminated fuel can cause selector valve seal damage. When fueling from possibly contaminated fuel sources McFarlane recommends the use of a fuel filter, such as Mr. Funnel or another filtering device, to reduce trash in the fuel system.
