Re: Fuel Flow Meter/Gauge Questions
flo-scan makes a gauge for a single outboard application , I believe it is the 5500 model. I have one on my 23. It has a sending unit and a gauge and thats it.Cost is around
249.00 I think. Shows GPH as you are running and total fuel burned . It will really help you find your most efficient RPM's to run at. I picked up a lot of speed and lowered my fuel burn. Also you can almost predict the amount to the gallon that you will need to fill up after a days running.You can adjust the meter to get you dead on the fuel flow if you want. I left mine set-up as it came from the factory and after several runs I was always within 5% of what the gauge read as total fuel burned. If the gauge said I had burned 50 gals. it would take 52-53 gals to fill up. I never worried about how much fuel was left in the tanks . Flo-scan manufactures gauges for the airplane industry so you know they have to be reliable and accurate .
