Cessna 206 - CiES Bladder Tank Fuel Senders

CiES Magnetic Field Fuel Senders for Cessna 206

We continue to add configurations to the CiES Fuel Sender Aircraft list. 

Today we completed the physical elements of the Cessna 206 Bladder Senders

In the picture you will see the new machined and red  anodized senders bracketed by the senders our customer  removed for the aircraft. 

This set of senders is for the Cessna 206 bladder tank fuel system.  The old sender on the right is a FAA PMA replacement and the one on the left is the factory Leigh Sender that this Cessna 206 Left the factory with.

As our sender design simplifies the mechanics of the float sensor  This is due to the increased travel range that our magnetic field senders allow. 

This simplified design may also be applicable to Cessna 182 and 172 Bladder tanks 

We have a set of 182 Fuel Senders from a bladder tank coming our way to confirm our belief.    

Cessna - New Technology Non-Contact Fuel Level Sender

CiES Inc, Cessna Fuel Level Sender 

We are in the process of serial manufacture of a Cessna Fuel Level Sensor.  

Cessna Fuel Level Sender 

This fuel level sensor utilizes our patented magnetic field technology and carries FAA TSO Approval.  

Note:  TSO Approval is FAA component approval and not FAA installation approval.

We set out in 2010 to change the dialogue about fuel level indication in aircraft & we accomplished this by building an aerospace specific fuel sender design.  

Fuel Level Sender Exploded View

This new fuel sender design, while resembling older technology potentiometer fuel level senders, centers around a robust patented non contact sensor technology.  

The only common part between our fuel level sender and old technology is the float.  You can see the CiES attention to detail we are internationally known for.

Our goal was to design a fuel level system that had the potential of replacing many legacy aircraft fuel senders in the field.  Our initial fuel sender production was utilized almost exclusively by OEM aircraft manufacturers and to meet OEM requirements they utilized a robust proprietary digital output.  Unfortunately this output was only suitable for Garmin G1000, JPI 930 & Aerospace Logic displays and instrumentation.   We have produced over 7,500 non contact fuel level senders in this configuration and the results have been exceptional.

Our recently issued TSO allows us to reach and support a broader range of cockpit fuel indication interfaces and as a correlation allow CiES to spread it's wings so to speak.   This new sender design allows the CiES fuel level sender to output a variable voltage or resistive load giving us a nearly universal capability to support legacy aircraft.

As such, we are actively working on CiES fuel level solutions for many popular aircraft. 

Contact us and see if we have a solution for your aircraft.
