FX-3, 450 hrs, had fuel spraying out the fuel pressure sensor like a sprinkler. Smelled fuel in the cabin while flying. Lucky no fire despite fuel dripping off the exhaust pipe.
Several hours prior to this incident the fuel pressure fluctuated to the extremes and then abruptly became non-functional with a red "X" on the G3X. I was able to remove the sensor and replace it with a cap obtained from an auto parts store. It got me back in the air and ultimately home.
I have now place the new fuel pressure sensor (Garmin G3X manifold pressure 30 PSIA 1/8-27 NPT sensor #494-30004-01) which is an exact replacement. The original wire harness (3 wires) snapped right into the new sensor. After start up the leak is gone.
Now the issue....I still have a red "X" for fuel pressure on the Garmin G3X.
What have I done wrong?
