I'm also quite interested in the GrandRapids EFIS - but I've got lots of
time before I commit to a vendor.
You'd need two sensors and subtract if the Grand Rapids system can not
accommodate. I believe Matronics makes a subtractive thingy (see at:
http://www.matronics.com/fuelchec/RFC/index.htm )
It's quite expensive though for what it does. Also I'm not sure if it is
only compatible with their unit.
Cheers,

I suspect that this has been asked and answered before, but here goes.
In the process of thinking about instruments etc. and the Grand rapids
system looks interesting. I see that their EIS has an option to monitor
fuel flow. My question is is this possible with a 914 where my
understanding is (I haven't got the engine yet) that there is a constant
flow of fuel back to the tank regardless of how much is actually going
to the engine. If it is possible where does one mount the flow sensor.
