The MGA With An Attitude
FUEL GAUGE CALIBRATION -- FG-102 FG-102 is a course in calibration of the MGA fuel gauge to make it read properly. I have gone through a considerable amount of tinkering to figure out the easiest way to field calibrate one of these instruments, and I would like to share some of the fun and success with a detailed review. If you're the impatient type who cares not for the whys and wherefores you can jump right to the conclusion by poking this link: Shortcut now. Or if you're the curious type who likes to learn new things, just keep on reading in sequence and enjoy the browsing.
