Hello Peter,
We're using a Floscan 231 with an MGL data acquisition unit
(RDAC X) on our Rotax 914 setup. No worries! You just have
to make a few "mods" to the installation.
The 231 flow sensor expects 12-15 VDC power instead of the 5
VDC provided by the MGL FF instruments. We simply tied the
sensor to the 12 VDC power line for the FF instrument. We
also installed a 10K pullup resistor on the FF instrument
between the flow signal input line and +5 VDC line.
The 231 outputs a square wave with 19800 pulses per gallon.
Convert this to pulses per liter (~5231) and set the "K"
factor for the FF instrument accordingly.
Our source for the Floscan 231 was Scuba Steve's Marine
Outlet. Less than $100 US and he ships internationally.

Good luck!
