Re: What kinds of engine instruments are on your b
I have to say that the smartcraft calc'ed fuel use is dead on for the injected mercs. On several offshore trips where I used 80-90 gallons, the indicated fuel used was almost exactly the amount to refill at the pump....with 1-2 gallons for an 80+ gallon fill. It also gives you the instantaneous fuel burn rate. I would think that similar performance could be had on on the gauges of any computer controlled fuel injected engine....since the injections are relatively precise. Interesting for the smartcraft tach and speedo, they both have a fuel burn rate and total used number for display. If you reset one when you fill up, and only reset the other when you start a trip, you can have a total used since fill up and a total for that trip. The guages are independent and keep the info internal to themselves.
