Lynn,
In reply to the F210 installation I just wanted to pass on that I installed my sender about 2 inches above the gascolater (splicing into the fuel line). I shortened the electrical cord to about 3 ft (from about 15) and was able to connect to the gauge in my panel. It worked out very nicely. I covered both the sender and fuel line in aircraft fire sleeve and I now have a very stable installation. This is also a vertical installation as the instructions specify. If you want a picture of the installation let me know and I will remove the cowling and send you one.
I too like having a fuel flow. Mine is indicating a fuel consumption of 3.3 gal at 5000 rpm. I thought that was rather low on my 912UL but prior computations at a few hundred rpm's less was revealing 2.8 gph and that was over a 10 hour period. ?????
I love your flying adventures by the way.

Thanks for the offer to shoot your installation, Dick, but I've got
mine installed now and it's working fine. I think I'll do like you
did, and shorten that HUGE long cable, too. My sender (transducer) is
at about a 45 degree angle within my console, and works great. I see
5.8 gals/hour during climbout, and down to anywhere from 3.7-4.4 in
cruise mode depending on rpm, wind direction, etc.
If you like adventures, I'm getting ready to post todays' rather
scary...briefly....hop, one of several hops I made in the snow today.

Dick, that must be some fat firesleeve to fit over the sender. Don't suppose you have about 4" of that scrap left over from your installation?

Lynn,
I was cruising the 912UL at about 4500rpm and that is why I was getting the low gas consumption. I have since found out that the engine should be set at around 5000 rpm so I am sure my consumption is much higher. I am tracking it so I can get the Northstar f/f closer to the actual consumption. Right now I believe it is a little too optimistic and I have tweaked the flow up higher. In any case, this engine doesn't use much fuel.
