My 14A is 17 months old with 164 hours on the hobbs. My red cube fuel flow meter has just been replaced. The fuel flow meter is mounted as per instructions, that is very close to the exhaust pipe. The transducer failed with burnt and damaged wiring at the tope of the cube. It indicates to me that the location for installation may be compromised by the location to the exhaust pipe. Albeit the heat shield is fitted to minimise heat affects, this appears not to be sufficently effective.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I am using Garmin G3X and the UMA red fuel cube in my aircraft. For those who are following, it may be useful to consider installing the fuel cube somewhere else further away from the exhaust pipes. This would mean changing the lengths of fuel hose but this may ensure longevity of your fuel flow transducer.
