Yes, I did a test on the bench with all my components with everything it relative height positions and again with everything installed in the fuselage. I was concerned about how well the fuel would flow through the electric Facet fuel pump with it not powered, but it was just fine.

Bill. I mounted the SW senders in the sides of my fuel tanks. I had to come up with the geometry through some trial and error but generally they work fine.

It's been a few years so I do not recall the exact geometry I used. I believe it is different than the VDO sender bends. I ended up making a cardboard mock up of the fuel tanks shape and adjusting the geometry accordingly.
