Phil in Australia said, > Hard to beat s dip stick. But check out this flow meter Ebay item 263346804586
**************** Hey! There's some interesting gadgets over there! Great prices too, although shipping is outrageous. The brand name of this eBay unit is "Topargee". Looking at their website https://goo.gl/iZM9b8 On Topargee's website I'm seeing that this unit can be had, gauge and sender unit, for $65 USD - about half of what the eBay seller is selling it for. It's switchable between liters and gallons (Imperial gallons?), runs on batteries, turns itself on when it detects flow and turns off when flow has stopped. This looks like a really interesting gadget. I came across a really elegant fuel tank quantity gauge called an "ultrasonic". Fits on top of the tank and uses soundwaves to detect fluid level. First time I've seen this design anywhere. The company is oriented towards the marine and RV market but I'm finding all sorts of potentially useful gauges and sensors that could be applied toward aviation use. I'm seeing some neato rocker switches, switch panels, and just generally a lot of interesting things at good prices. Shipping can be a bear however. Why is shipping from Australia to the US so ridiculously expensive I wonder? Anyway, prowl around over there and you'll see what I mean. Thanks Phil. . **************************************** I don't see why people are comparing a fuel flow meter to a dipstick. As far as I can see they don't have anything to do with each other. A fuel flow gauge gives real-time consumption information. A dipstick is basically something to make jokes about. Hardly useful in the air. ____________________________________________________________ 1 Simple Trick Removes Eye Bags & Lip Lines in Seconds Fit Mom Daily http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/5a381c023a3a71c026950st02vuc _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
