Matt,

I was sorry to hear about what happened on your flight.  I read what happed
and just wanted to address the comments you had mentioned above regarding
the VM flow meter.

The flow transducers that are manufactured for us are certified and are also
used by virtually all other manufactures of fuel flow instrumentation. You
mentioned that the flow transducer has a restrictor in it.  The flow
transducer 'restriction' is really a flow director and represents very
little pressure drop. It is used on very high flow rate engines (>30gph).

The pressure drop (as published by transducer mfg.) for gasoline is
nonlinear and is as follows:
30 GPH ~1.2   PSI
15 GPH ~0.3   PSI
 7 GPH ~0.1   PSI
