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.
