Hi all!
After running out of diesel on the second sail out (shouldnt have believed the previous owner when he said there was plenty of diesel in the tank), I decided to retrofit a Level sensor to my tank. Yesterday I received the machined parts and installed it, I must say its a great fit and a necessary upgrade, what do you guys think? Pablo    |

The question will sound silly so let me explain the context a little. If it all goes well, I'll be the happy owner of a 315 next spring. My first boat. Since I signed the order I'm browsing like a maniac every video, picture, blog or forum where I can get that additional detail that I forgot to check in the only opportunity I had to see the boat in person. The 315 is no longer displayed in most/any of the major boatshows in Europe, and most of the detailed manuals and sites with content usually default to her big sisters. So here's the silly question; does not the 315 equip a fuel meter by default? It was not presented as an option when I ordered and honestly looks to me (novice skipper) quite an important component to prevent surprises.

No the tank does not come with a sensor by default. What I do is log the date & time of last fill then record engine hours @ 2 litres per hour to give an estimate to next fill. Touch wood has worked for me since owning a 315. None- the- less I would like a guage oneday and this looks like a good solution. |

There is a way to add a fuel gauge without changing the Fuel
tank inspection plate. If you use a PN 3271T-500 Fuel level sender, trimmed to 250mm from Oceanic systems www.osuki.com you only need to cut a hole in
the existing plate ( 1 1/4 BSP) for the gauge. No other modification is required. Really easy to set up as
well. I have mine linked to the chart plotter. Tross
