Fuel Flow Totalizer
 

Does anyone have a JPI fuel flow totalizer installed on a normally aspirated Skymaster?

I am having difficulty determining how to install the fuel flow transducer. The instructions simply say to fabricate two new hoses to replace the one from the throttle body to the fuel distributor. This is a pretty confined area. If anyone has installed a transducer in this area before and has information available (pictures - hose manufacturer, part numbers and lengths) I would certainly appreciate the info.

Thanks!

I ended up mounting the transducer on the intake pipe with adell clamps on the pipe and on the transducer. I fabricated one hose from the throttle body to the transducer, and another from the transducer to the flow divider. I wrapped the transducer with a larger piece of fire sleeve, as well as the new hose assemblies.

It wasn't for a JPI unit, but a Shadin. The same transducer though.

Good Idea
 

Thanks for the information.

I thought about attaching the transducer to the intake manifold too. JPI instructions said it was not to be attached directly to the engine but should be supported by the hose and should be supported by an adel clamp within 8 inches of the transducer.

Have you seen any tendancy toward inaccuracies or instability? Do you have any pictures of the installation?

It was not on my airplane, but one of my customers that I performed the installation on. I do not have a photo of the installation, sorry.

I don't recall any problems with the fuel flow/totalizer.
