Piper Tomahawk fuel system

Hi,

I'm a University student currently doing an Engineering Dissertation.

I have done 12 hours flying before and I'm of to a FTO in July/September to start the long road (Cant wait!)

So, for my project as I have a passion for aviation, I decided to implement a water in fuel sensor to the existing fuel system of a Piper Tomahawk to give the pilot a 'real time' display of any possible contamination in his/her fuel.

I figured this was a good idea as many accidents have happened in aviation in the past due to fuel contamination, and any preventative methods would be therefore welcomed.

The last thing I need to look at to complete the project is the Wiring Diagram of the Tomahawk as I can't find one in books or on the internet.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!
