I?m setting up values for an engine monitor that I ordered (EI-CGR-30p) and am researching engine limitations for a Lycoming IO-360-b1b (your basic parallel valve, 180 hp engine FI engine). The TCSD documents the fuel pressure value sensed at the inlet to the fuel pump of -2 to +35psi.
Do I really want the fuel pressure sensed there? A fuel pressure indication downstream of the engine driven pump seems more useful. If I choose the downstream location, what are normal values ....green arc, yellow arcs etc.
This unit will be used on a high wing aircraft with gravity feeding the gascolator then the electric fuel pump.
