REFLECTOR: Fuel flow transducer

[Don Johnston]

Nick,

Would it be possible to get a picture of the transducer and how it's
mounted?

I asked my A&P yesterday and he says that when he's installed fuel flow
transducers on similar engines that they are supported by the (flexible)
fuel line only. No mounting bracket whatsoever. The only additional work is
wrapping it in a fireproof sleeve.

Thanks,
-Don

I have a Cirrus engine and it is mounted to the intercylinder baffle
bracket between the #4 and #6 cylinder just like you said. It has a
stainless steel box around the transducer and it is a very nice mounting. I
went a little further and replaced the hose between the transducer and the
throttle body with stainless steel tubing. This added some straight tube
after the transducer as I understand from the instructions it needs some
length of straight tubing before and after the transducer to be accurate.



Best regards,



Nick and Connie Jones
