Hey guys
Just ordered a fuel flow system for the Volvo,Its probably a bit late but has anyone used one of these and if so any problems.
It looks as good as the Floscan and about 1/3 of the price.
I need it as the fuel gauge in the under floor tank has gone and with the reset function I can determine how much fuel is left.
I just put one in my boat about 2 weeks ago to compensate for the doggey Quintrex fuel gauge that has already been replaced twice. It's good value and has plenty of features. It was really easy to install, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Hopefully it will give me some peace of mind. One of my biggest fears is running out of fuel.
If you have a 100 litre tank.
1. fill it up and set the unit to 100 litres, tank volume.(it will start to count down the fuel as you use it)
2. refill the tank and note the litres used. (then adjust the "volume used amount" to read the same quantity)
3. Every time you fill up, adjust the total back to 100
Note that it would be best to calibrate the unit once you have used approximately 1 tank full of fuel to give a more accurate calibration.(you can relill the tank several times and reset total volume to 100 as this does not vary the total amount used)
So if you fill the tank three times with say 30 40 and 50 litres then you could adjust the "fuel used" to 120, and it is then calibrated.
Angela can you remember if there was much of a difference between the fuel used reading on the unit prior to calibration, compared to the actual amount of fuel used. Was the difference enough that you would recommend calibrating it?
I have one on a haines 680 walk around for about 2 years-- very very accurate - within .5 ofa litre -- -- but does need to be calibrated -- took me two goes to get it right
