REFLECTOR: fuel flow transducer IO-550N

[Jones Nick]

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,

For you guys running a Continental IO-550N, where are you mounting the fuel flow transducer?

I know the norm is on the firewall, but when I looked at a Cirrus, theirs is above the #4 and #6 cylinder and under the intake tubes.

This location would allow a nice straight fuel line before and after the transducer. But I couldn't get a good look at how it was mounted.
