Floscan is the best transducer, it uses an infra red sensor so is not =0Asu
sceptible to magnetic interference. Unlikely to block, the hole is larger t

rand Rapids monitor =0Auses the Floscan and the do sell them separately.=0A

I don't think that the LAA allow the RS fuel flow =0Asensor to be used beca

Just sorting the fuel system on my new build. I am considering =0Aincluding
 an RS type flow sensor for future use but what confuses me on =0Athe 912 i
nstall is that some of the fuel comes back which would make =0Athe reading 
useless unless a return sensor was also fitted. This is the =0Areason my fu
el calculator in my C42 is worse than useless. Any advice =0Aappreciated.
