I was looking at the spec to install the gfs 10. I have a question for anyone who has installed one before. Do you need to connect the fuel sensor to a power source if your using a NEMA 2000 network or is the power to the NEMA network enough?
you need to go to power and ground, and can optionally also hook into a fuel guage/level sensor
So if I understand correctly you have to power up the sensor as well as the NEMA 2000 network?

Ranger-

Looking at the GFS install sheet it looks like the sensor has an extra wire (orange) that you need to use when hooked up to CANet. Well that sucks, I was hoping to get buy without having to drop all the cash for the garmin sensor.

Yes, I think thats where you're screwed, and that extra wire kills the CANet capability.

Maybe this will help.
