For those who have a G900X panel, have you adjusted the K factor value for more accurate fuel flow readings?  How did you calculate it?  Using the K factor that came with my Flo Scan sensor (mounted after the fuel servo, before the spider) , I am showing fuel burn a bit greater than actual.  Maybe 2 gallons more in 60 gallons used.  This is conservative, but I would like as accurate as possible readings.  



Also, has anyone measured the amount of fuel in the lines running from the wing root to the spider on the engine?



Thanks.

I have been tweeking mine.  I am off 1.5 gal/tank full.  I keep a log of several fill ups and calculate the average difference between what the garmin shows and what I actually buy.  Then I change my K factor by that amount. 

  

I am thinking that there is some leaking out of the vent if I store the plane before I fly it.  That gives me different results from time to time.
