Re: Fuel flow

Forgot to add that elba senders are available with screw thread connectors
rather than push on type. Most people with Europas buy the push on type
because I believe the Europa comes with flexible hoses. We have sold the
screw on type to other kit builders and I use one myself as my kit came with
aluminium lines.

I agree that reports are the Flowscan sender restricts flow less than the
elba sender. We sell the Flowscan senders for 110 + VAT. Not stocked but
usually obtainable within a couple of weeks.
