Of course you could save some effort and make it a kit.  After all, if we can build an airplane and convert an auto engine, we should be able to build something like this.

Hi Bob,
 
Have not given it serious thought.    Would depend on how much demand, cost, etc.  Also want to see how it works out.  The previous one I designed and built of analog parts worked fine - but, this digital design world is new to me. So, I need to test it thoroughly on the aircraft - particularly the "automatic" calibration algorithm I have in the software code.
 
  However, if I did decide to sell it would probably be mid-late summer time before it happened.  The current design is somewhat labor intensive in cutting apart the board into the front panel and Chip board, placing "sockets and plugs" on each board so they can plug together, etc.  I would need to look a ways to simplify it a bit and I am certain the layout of the board could be improved.  Already, Finn has pointed out my resistors are mounted by their "legs" {:>).

Are you going to sell them for how much, and when?

Here are a couple of photos of my homebrew digital fuel monitoring system, I have mentioned in the past
