I am on my second; the first lasted about 500 hours; the second has lasted about 50 hours. They begin to fail by showing fuel pressures that are abnormally high intermittently. Anyone else has a similar problem?

Sounds like GRT ought to sell the industrial one only with new EIS shipments. Cheap purchase just means that you get to change them frequently.

They use them in race cars, too...

Don't tell them it's for an airplane, however.

I talked with Sandy and Gregg at GRT yesterday; there is a way to determine whether it is the sensor good or bad with the top cowl off. Mine, however, is intermittent, I am going to try and clean the terminals to determine whether my problems currently could be connections. The choices are two: (1) keep replacing the cheap sensor (I carry an extra with me) or (2) install the robust one which requires slight changes to the wiring. I will make a decision on it in a month or so; IIRC the three wires from it go to power, ground and the sensor. Since the current sensor already has a 4.8V power interconnection with the sensor line it must be removed which for me means removing some panel units to find and cut the offending wire.
