After several months of back n forth with Diamond Canada…waiting for equipment, then a fuel temp probe fault…SHE’S AIRWORTHY. Was a GREAT day for functional flight cks! #DiamondsOfYokota!

Congrats! She looks good.

Mine is still in for the MSB (hopefully back this week).

I’m curious though about the fuel probe issue, a few weeks ago my main tank was showing empty on the gauge despite the fact that I could see it was full. We were about to ferry it for maintenance about a week later and when we turned on the gauge showed the correct fuel level and has ever since. I am asking Southtec (where it is right now) to see if they can run a diagnostic but we eventually put it down to the fact that that everything was new and something had stuck.

Interested in hearing wha your issue was.

We had a Fuel temp issue "Fuel HOT >64C" on ground at startup. Discovered faulty probe, verified by jumping probes left to right and shooting wires from probe to G1000.

Thanks for the info. Mine was a different issue, incorrect reading of fuel amount.
