Subject: Re: [LML] fuel flow transducer
I have my flow transducer in the left footwell up against the
nose gear tunnel and just forward of the main spar. I have no header tank
and my electic boost pump is under my seat with its suction strainer so the
position is a natural. I have a maximum of 12" of straight run from the
pump to the transducer and possibly 18" after the transducer before it goes
through the firewall and into the gascolator.
Why would you put the tranducer in a hot area and also have to
run longer wiring to get to the instrument readout.? I presume this is not
a Continental engine with flow back to the fuel tanks.
I also recorded accuracies of ~1%, certainly within the
possible accuracy of filling the tanks up as far as possible.

HI all,I bought a jpi edm at OSH. last year
but didn't instal the fuel flow antisapating a forward sump mod over the
winter, well the mod is nearly done and now it's time.JPI instructions say it
should mount in the hose between engine driven fuel pump and
servo,however I often see these in the metered hose at the flow
divider inlet, I was also told it is best to have as much straight hose as
possable on each side of transducer {no 45 or 90 degree
fittings} Is one location prefered, IT looks difficult to do the
straight thing on top of the engine.
