Sorry guy's, have just dug it out and it is only a FS35 fuel sensor to hook up to a Navman head unit.
My appoligies,

I have a F210 and have unfortunately had nothing but grief. Luckily getting warranty has not been a problem but I do not have much confidence in my set up which for a fuel management system is a problem.

scorpionNQ vbmenu_register("postmenu_1172512", true); I'll try and locate a 2nd hand Navman Head unit hopefully that will talk with your sensor. I only want the Head unit purely for the fuel flow reading.

If anyone has a working Navman Head Unit that they want a few bob for, let me know

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have had a Northstar f210 fitted for about a year now. Worked beautifully for about 9 months, but now is so erratic that it is basically useless. It is not air in the sensor unit. Piece of crap if you ask me.

The third Navman/Northstar fuel sensor on my boat and about the 5th I have been associated with crapped itself the first time I did a fuel filter change after about 100 hours of spot-on performance. I replumbed everything to make sure it was vertical and on the outlet side of the filter after all the threads on here but what the hell are you then suppossed to do when you do a filter change and all the fuel drains backwards? It is now the 5th dead Navman fuel sensor I have been associated with. Say no more.

Rob,

I might have one in your league (also went down hill after a filter change)... What symptoms were you gettting.. Was it just erratic performance??

[tenzing]

After a previous one went belly up when set up as required I decided to put this one before the filter and to make matters worse its about 45 degrees. I change the fuel filter every 6 months or so and it has survived about 5 or 6 so far and is going fine to date.
now that I have shot my mouth off it will probably die tomorrow night
Cheers

Only other relevant thing is that I have an inline stop cock after the sensor and before the filter ( one each side as I have 2 separate fuel tanks) and I close them off before changing the filter so thef uel doent tend to flow back down the line
