Duly noted. I'm working on one of the capacitive fuel gauges. You
wouldn't happen to have the PCB artwork laying around, perchance?

I've started laying it out in gEDA, an open-source
design/simulation/production system.

Getting ferric chloride from Radio Shack is getting problematic. Is
there a common household chemical that I can use for etching a circuit
board or two? I seem to remember Jim Weir having an article about how to
do it in the not to distant past, but I can't find anything about it in
my back copies of Kitplanes.
