Identifying Fuel Transmitters in Nav III Equipped Airplanes

Two types of fuel transmitters are installed in Nav III (G1000) equipped restart airplanes, Models 172R, 172S, 182T, T182T, 206H, and T206H.

The early production airplanes had a float-type fuel transmitter (sender) installed. However, in 2008 a new CAN Bus style fuel sender was introduced.

The list of airplane serial numbers with the CAN Bus senders are:
  • T206H 008801 and On
  • 206H 008303 and On
  • T182T 008807 and On
  • 182T 082046 and On
  • 172S 010656 and On
  • 172R 081497 and On
One method to determine what type of sender is installed is to do a visual inspection by removing the wing root panel and using a mirror to see what sender is installed in the wing.
