In the original post from Dennis, I don't recall a
specific question but he did have some nice photos of his engine
compartment.
As for which would be better, metered or
unmetered, I would say the metered fuel pressure is more informative and
has a direct corelation to fuel flow because pressure through a fixed resistance
(tubing and injectors) equates to flow.

While I think this is all good information, the
original question Jon
had and I have is how to monitor fuel pressure.
The setup procedure
using SID97 is a different issue. I
think the more interesting
question is does one monitor metered or
unmetered fuel pressure in the
cockpit. It seems that TCM and at
least Coumbia (Cessna)
recommend/use metered and that Lancair generally
sets up their
aircraft to use unmetered. I haven't gotten a good
answer as to why
and what the advantages and disadvanages are.
Obviously the values
are different, but they are measuring
essentially the same thing.
Can anyone comment on what
advantage/disadvantage there is to using a
metered vs unmetered source
for you fuel pressure measurement while
flying.
