frosty100 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I am looking at the possibility of adding a low fuel warning L.E.D system to my motor. I don't really fancy the whole fuel gauge thing as it looks like too much Ag. There was an article here posted years ago from a guy who had lights to warn of low fuel but this seemed to suggest he had an electric start and so a battery for a power source. I have no such luxury as I am a pull start kinda guy. Does anyone have some definitive ideas and diagrams etc please. Also where would be the best place to mount them? Frosty.

AndyB Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have a small mirror on one of those retractable strings. But, I rarely use it as I know I use 4.1 litres/hour....so just need a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Don't depend on an LED light - Know your fuel burn rate and/or get a retractable mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosty100 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I do indeed have and use a fuel mirror on a regular basis. I am just one of those guys who likes to experiment with different ways of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noddyc Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I use a'' Fly Henry ''' fuel / temp / rpm guage witch have a low fuel /warning indicator(led) build in. I always use my fuel to calculate my time flying. The fuel guage and warning led is only used to confirm what I know, I never relied on it ; every time I knew when the warning light will come on .
