I recently decided I'd like to have a fuel flow meter in the KR. I selected the FC-10 with an FC-60 sensor.  I had the spot in mind where I'd install the sensor.  With sensor and instrument in hand I dived in to the KR this afternoon, upside down, under the forward deck to remove a section of

I have a fuel flow sensor in my KR-2 for a Grand Rapids EIS. The sensor was given to me. Don't know if it works: GR wants $184 to pay for the activation code to make the GR display pay attention to the sensor. If anyone has a use for the Grand Rapids fuel flow sensor, let me know and I will

 It worked fine for maybe 20 hours, and it's been crazy ever since. Not crazy in a way that makes any sensemaybe 5% of the time I'd say it's accurate, but most of the time it wanders quickly between the normal 3.8 gph and something like 50 gph! I'm back to what always works...a paint stirrin

I've had a Floscan 201 fuel flow sensor in both N56ML and N891JF. It worked flawlessly in N56ML on the EIS for something like 750 hours, and then started drifting a bit sometimes, so I replaced it and it worked fine afterwards. When I redid the fuel system in N91JF, I swapped the working Flo

Guys I have a Silver Instrument Model IIIC with a yellow tag (It's used but I have never used it). Its left over from when I closed my shop. From what I can see on the display it supports two tanks and you can select fuel remaining or time remaining on one of the displays. If you are interested

I am using this one. I tested it and if I remember correctly it gave 515 pulses per gallon. I have an Arduino processing that data and displaying it on a small 4x20 display. I assume it could feed a meter that could be calibrated to the pps or ppm. eBay item number: 112586699418 > On December

I recall a reasonable priced fuel flow meter being discussed a year or two back and can't find anything in the archives.  Does anyone recall the brand name / suppliers.  Santa Claus dropped some green packing from his money bag and he's not answering his phone so I thought I'd just spend it.
