I have purchased the Grand Rapids EIS for my 914. I got two "FloScan turbine
flow sensors" with the unit. The installation instructions provided with
these says "the sensor should be installed with at least 5 inches of
straight or gently curving fuel line before and 1-2 inches after the sensor
and the first valve, elbow, or other turbulence producing device. A
gascolator or filter should be installed upstream of the flow sensor. The
vapor venting design of the sensor requires that it be positioned with the
wires pointing up."

<paul-d.stewart@virgin.net>
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.
