J P Instruments' Fuel Scan 450R ("R" for "return") is designed for the
job, with a transducer on each line, and the brain calculates the
difference. I am fitting one - easy to install, but not flying yet, so
cannot report on performance. It is incorporated in their EDM800 engine
monitor, if you want a reason to spend big bucks - nice gear though.

Subject: Rotax 914 Fuel Return.
Question for the 914 owners. I am interested in fitting a fuel
flow/computer, but I understand that the fuel returned to the tank to
minimise the chance of vapour locks can complicate the calculation. Is
it possible to fit a fuel flow sensor before the carburettors but after
the return connection which goes to the tank. That would mean that only
fuel used would be sensed.
If not, has anyone an alternative solution.
Regards,
Mike.
