Gidday,
I have recently purchased a Floscan from BrokenLeg Dave. He advertises a
Floscan 264 with built in dampening, but actually doesn't sell it. Why?
Well it isn't made anymore. (Source, Floscan) The model supplied 201 B-9,
is the model used by the EIS manufacturers, which is important because
whatever you buy and install needs to receive a signal and then calibrate
it into a fuel flow. As such it is imperative to get a model that is
compatible with the EIS system you intend purchasing. I have been in
contact with Dynon to attempt to ensure that their new EIS is capable of
being connected to our Europa Capacitance gauges, and I should do the same
about these Floscans too. From Dave by the way, mine came with a circular
dampening device and T for plumbing, the model stamped on the Floscan being
20B. I am assured it is the 201 B-9, but I wish the model was stamped in
full on it so that I knew definitively.
Quote:
"The 264 sensor did have an internal pulsation damper. The 20B sensor,
which is the entire assembly you pictured, uses a 201B sensor which does
not have that internal damper, thus the external damper that gets
attached to the outlet."
I have contact details at Floscan but would prefer not to circulate them.
If anyone wants to know more about Floscans, maybe I can be of assistance
in mediating the information, and save annoying people. They appear a bit
touchy, so best not to annoy them and not get the answers we need.
