Off and on since my first start up I have had intermittent low fuel pressure alarms. In the last 20 hours of opperation I have had no problems. I just installed a UMA mechanical 0-10 PSI fuel pressure gauge. NO changes were made to the fuel system other than re-routing the fuel hose to the sender and putting in a manifold. The dynon sensor is mounted on the right side and an an-3 aeroquip hose ro the gauge on the other.
First thing I noticed is that the Dynon reads lower than UMA. With just the electric pump on the Dynon reads 0 but the UMA shows 2.5.
On start up the Dynon reads 1.8 and the UMA 4. 2 PSI . GPH is 2.2
After warm up at 3000 RPM the Dynon shows 1.5 PSI and 2.2 GPH. The UMA drops to 3.5 GPH
At 4000 RPM The Dynon is at .7-.9 PSI and 3 GPH. The UMA drops to 2.5 PSI.
There is no seepage that I can see from the fuel pump, nor is fuel leaking anywhere that I can see.
Any thoughts?
