FlowScan's documentation calls for it after the mechanical pump for fuel injected engines; that's not working for us, we're seeing 9.xx gal/hour at idle! We're tracking down issues with the G900, so our error could be there but I think we'll relocation the FlowScan in the tunnel.

Thanks, Doug. I installed mine today The only true PITN was trimming away the center cover. It has limited mobility because I've already installed the throttle and mixture cable.

Default another one

mounted in the main fuel line between the boost pump and firewall. The only difference is that I match drilled the belly skin using the holes in the transducer as guides and dimpled the holes. I put countersunk screws with the heads down, up through the belly, through the transducer and put nuts on top to secure it. Probably WAY overkill but it looked to me like it wanted to be securely fastened to something.
