Ira raises an obvious and simple solution that again a number of Europas
have- You could simply use the standard factory fuel configuration but omit
the reurn flow transducer. The FS450 has a very simple K factor adjustment
routine that would compensate for the error caused by not measuring return
flow. The difference between the return flow at low and high power settings
is probably negligible. If you are worried about it you could always
measure it during the fuel flow checks required before first flight.
This would not require a new mod (IMHO) as the fuel system would be
standard.

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Fuel return line attachment point with 912UL
Hi All,
I know this has been discussed before, but the present discussion seems to
discount the fact that the 912s and the 914 return fuel quantities are quite
different. The 914 has a continuous, significant return flow while the 912s
has a negligible return flow. My suspicion is that the flow rate in a 912s
is below the range of accurate measurement of a 201b floscan.
