Angier,
The wires from the sensor should be shielded (ground connected at one end
of shield).

The 550
mile flight this morning from KBVY-KRKD-KEPM-KBVY was crystal clear VFR with
195kts TAS, 5500ft, 24"MP, 2400RPM, 8.2GPH, 25šLOP
and 22.5MPG...not too
shabby for this little pip-sqweak of a plane.
The good news is that my
continuing issue with erratic MVP-50 fuel flow readings
has now been
identified but the solution will be a real pain to fix. Turning off the ALT
instantly caused FF readings to become rock solid! Go figure.
I'll have to
remove the cowl in order to refresh my aging memory on how the ALT output lead
is plumbed but at some point it must be too close to the FF cable. After the
fact it sounds like common sense but don't run any sensor wires aft from the
engine compartment in the same wire bundle which includes the ALT lead. Short
of relocating wires, do we have an electrical wizard here with a more elegant
solution? I suppose that any time I want to see accurate fuel data, I could
simply shut off the ALT for a few seconds. :-)
