Dynon10", Just received Dynon fuel transducer from PCA, My fuel lines are in from cut/off Valve to firewall. Should I have waited? Where did you install your fuel flow transducer? Before firewall or after? Pics would be great!

Spoke with Scott Risan at Vans and he said the the RV-14 will be on display this (August 17th & 18th) Friday and Saturday at ( 7S5) Independence Oregon for the Vans Home Coming and Fly-in (All aircraft are allowed to fly in and land and enjoy the RV folks.) See Chapter 292 webpage or Vans website for details of the days events.

My transducer has been working great for over 19 years. It is mounted just forward of the spar, between the selector valve and the boost pump.

Dynon Fuel flow transducer

Mel Thanks alot. I'll see if I can fit it under that cover from the selector valve to the fire wall. Thanks Mel!

No, it won't fit under the cover, but you can just build or buy a little box that goes over where the transducer protrudes through the cover.

Mel, Do you have a filter before the sensor?

 

[ron sterba]

Ok, Mel I think it will work with a hinge at the heater vent cover back toward booster pump with a new higher cover over the Vans provided center cover plate. The red cube as I call it NEEDS apromx 6" of straight fuel line tubing in front of and past the red cube (fuel flow transducer). Looks like it will be a fine location. Group of us looking at firewall forward and decided it proves to be a challenge to locate there unless somebody has a good location idea. Thanks Mel

another option

 

[ron sterba]

Thanks for the pictures Steve! I was thinking about that exact place. I now know it will fit. May have to change the cover a little bit.

I have a filter just before the selector valve on each side. That way if a filter were to become clogged, I can switch tanks and go again.

 

[ron sterba]

Thanks mel. not sure I can fit it now. I'll take a look at the space.

what about using the vans cover for fuel injected

my engine is carb and I built my own box cover but I did think about using vans sheet metal cover for the fuel injected pump at the location of the filter. that may be another option.

[ron sterba]

keith, I like that Idea. I'll check with a AP. This engine stuff is all new to me. My inside is all painted and plumbed from Andair pump and filter to mech pump. Ron
