REFLECTOR: FW: Fuel flow transducer

[Jones Nick]

Don,

These are the pictures of my flow transducer installation.

This looking forward. You can see the stainless cover over the transducer.

You can see the bracket attached to the inter-cylinder baffle that supports the transducer. Notice the two outer bolts attaching it to the bracket and the relief hole for the center bolt that attaches the baffle.

The wires come out of the top of the box.

Let me know if you need more detail. I don't know how much I can send in an email through the reflector.

Best regards,

Sure thing. I will take pictures tonight when I go to the hangar. I will send it to you tomorrow. The stainless box around the transducer works in place of fire sleeve.

Best regards,
Nick

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,
