Fuel Flow instrument

Bill,

You may want to take a look at the Aveo MaxiSingles model FF-3. It is
$172 plus $125 for the sender. I have 2 of their instruments and like
them alot.

I was considering the EI-fp-5 but at $750 it a bit pricy for my budget.. The
marine unit does the same thing for $150

Any thoughts?
Bill

G'day Bill

I have a Navman in my Murphy Rebel with a 100hp Rotax and it works just
fine. Its accurate to less than 3% and is easy to use.
Navman make a modified unit for aviation and definitely recommend that the
marine version not be used in an aircraft.

Ian Donaldson

Sounds like a good idea - Now, anyone have any information on a Faure
Herman Flowmeter? I have the indicator head (basically a 1MA meter,
calibrated 1-7 (pphX100)

What does IT run off of???

I have been flying for almost two years with the Navman unit.
It works OK as an indicator of fuel flow. I don't like the two
button control for setting fuel remaining, and other features.

The instructions say to include a fuel filter upstream of the
sender, so that junk will not clog it.

G'day

I have had the Navman (Mizer) in use for more than two years, and unlike
Graham found it quite easy to use.

I really like the instant fuel flow reading and the trip usage meter. The
fuel gauges in my plane are grossly inaccurate, but the Mizer makes fuel
management a breeze.

I fitted mine upstream of the gascolator. Doing it this way there is no need
to add a separate filter in the system.

That is good to know Ian, I've suspected that my unit might be defective.
The buttons just do not work well.

BTW, I see that www.BoatersWorld.com is selling them for $129.99
including shipping.

G'day George



I just reread my post and see that I referred to you as "Graham".
Sorry about that. I guess that I got confused! No offence was meant.


Regards

Ian Donaldson.
