Paul, I would be reluctant to use anything other than the aviation
transducer designed for the planes fuel flow range, which I believe is the
201A-6 for Rotax engines. It is a pretty sensitive bit of the plane to put
anything in and the accuracy of it is safety critical (ignoring the fact
that we should have an additional way of knowing how much fuel there is
left). Regards, David Joyce G-XSDJ

on the subject of ScubaSteve in Florida. He offers a 201B-9 transducer,
which you might think is similar to the 201A-6 or 201B-6 transducer that is
designed for aircraft use. It is not. Floscan tell me it is in fact a 20B
marine transducer. And of course, the cheaper 231 is a marine transducer
too.
