Fuel Flow Monitoring Systems - what's best?

by Ron Miller in General Tech Discussion 12 years ago

I'm thinking of installing a fuel flow monitor for our 912ULS. It's fed from L+R tanks and has a backup electric pump. I think I will need two sensors (one for fuel in and one for fuel return) and a unit which calculates the difference and maybe displays the pressure as well. The prices of sensors seem ridiculous for what they are.
Anybody out there with experience of these. I'm contemplating picking something up at Oshkosh

Hi Ron,

You are right about what you need, but it shouldn't be that expensive. Give Dynon a call they use the "Red Cube" a.k.a. the FT-60. Look in the Dynon installation manual and it will tell you how to set it up which is more or less the same for other installations. There are a couple of aircraft Mfg's like Vans that also have installation guidelines.
