Fuel Meter

NOTE

Fuel Flow Arrow, which points
Downwards in this case.

Figure 28 Fuel Flow Sender Device.

The electric fuel meter supplies usage information to the digital readout in the pod.
The  fuel  meter  has  two  scales  of  fuel  flow  reading  capability  and  if  removed  or  renewed  the  correct
settings must be used for the meter to read correctly. This system is able to supply consumption rates
and total usage information if the computer is reset after refilling the tank. For remaining fuel it should
be  used  in  addition  to  the  visual  check,  but  not  instead  of.  The  visual  check  is  described  in  section
28.40.00 The electrical system and schematic is described in section 8.4 of the Pilots Handbook.

Fuel Meter Maintenance

Check the fuel meter for proper rotation of the impellor and that there are no blockages or debris
present. A good time to do this would be during replacement of the fuel lines or filter unit. If there is any
debris present at any time then a full investigation of the origin as well as investigation of the fuel filter is
absolutely necessary. The fuel filter should have prevented any debris making its way into the meter.

CAUTION

THE FUEL METERING DEVICE IS DIRECTIONAL, THE FUEL FLOW IS GIVEN BY THE ARROW
ON THE SIDE OF THE METER.
