Brief Description:  EMS - Fuel Level sensors

Removed the Vans Fuel Level Sending unit from the Rt tank, and temporarily attached the EMS harness wire for the Rt Fuel Level to the contact, and clecoed the mounting plate to fuselage.

Then in the SkyView setup, checked the Sensor Mapping to be sure the leads matched, then into the EMS Calibration menu to 'calibrate' the fuel level (imaginary at this point) with the SV display reading. With the float at the minimum level told the SV it was 'zero/empty' and moved the float in small increments taking calibrations readings at arbitrary '2 gal increases' until FULL. Finally, exited Setup and watched the EMS/Engine display the pseudo fuel quantity readings as the float was raised and lowered.

I know how the process will work with fuel, and that the sending unit is working with the EMS. Will have to repeat calibration when fuel is added later.

Then another minor task - added AN916-416 washers to the Crow restraint harnesses (attach fitting) to fill the oversize fitting hole and match it to the AN4-7 bolt size of the cable restraint point. (Pressed 3x AN960-416 washers into the Crow brackets.)
