After 1.5 years of operation (150 hrs) on my RV6A, 0360A1A, second owner, I am experiencing Erratic Fuel Pressure into my GRT EIS 4000. The sender is VDO 360 043, this is a 0-30 psi unit that is sold and not for fuel use according to some websites that sell it? So I've just learned.
But I have installed a direct pressure gauge and ran statically putting out 5.5 psi and 6.0 with electric fuel pump on.
My inflight erratic readings only last a few seconds measuring "(0)", or zero pressure. The most it ever reads is 3.6 psi.
I have read numerous times the documentation GRT supplies and it is just as clear as mud. I understand very little on how to change the unit and to further my knowledge I would like to have someone mentor me into understanding more about this unit. If anyone can help just reach out in a Private message with phone number and time to call.
I have ordered a new VDO pressure sensor and will replace it in a few days upon arrival.
I have accomplished several tasks to keep heat away from fuel lines, and replacing baffle material for better sealed enclosure directing air across the cylinders.
I have not taken the plunge to purchase a EFIS unit.
I would like to keep the aircraft panel "as is".
