Misfueling Detection with Two Offseted Capacitive Fuel Senders
Dubravko Miljković
Sažetak
Misfueling of a general aviation aircraft with a Jet Fuel instead of an Avgas can have dire consequences. In this paper simple non-destructive testing method is proposed using two capacitive fuel senders that are vertically displaced in a fuel tank by a small distance to detect such situation. Method is based on different readings for the same fuel level in a tank (as fuel senders are displaced). Each fuel has different dielectric constant. In case of correct fueling difference between these readings will always fall within narrow fixed interval.
