Hi Folks,

             I'm just about ready to fit the transducers for the fuel 

meter, I presume the best place for them would be in the tunnel. also if 

fitted in the tunnel would I still have to use the fire sleeve 

provided?  shouldn't think it would be that hot in there (I hope !!!).

On a very similar subject - I'd like to fit one of the MGL fuel pressure 

gauges - they recommend a VDO transducer with a 'fuel isolator' (which I 

assume prevents the fuel from escaping in the event that the diaphragm in 

the transducer fails).



Can I ask what transducers others have fitted for fuel pressure and if 

they've found it necessary to use an isolator?



If anyone has any experiences of the MGL range, that would be appreciated 

too.



Thanks



Peter

Hi Peter, if you are in the UK the PFA will not approve the MGL fuel flow 

transducer- i have a brand new unused one which is now an expensive  mantle piece ornament ! they did approve the Floscan Fuel Flow Transducer.

hope this info is of some use,

thanks for this steve - was really looking at the pressure transducer (VDO) 

but it goes on about a fuel isolator.



Do you have the MGL fuel computer? If so, is it a good bit of kit? I guess 

you need two flowscans - one for the feed and one for the return?

Yes i have have fitted the MGL fuel computer - it has a bar graph which 

displays calculated fuel contents, the transducer is a Flosan fitted only in 

the feed line -not the return, you can adjust the calibation to allow for the 

return unused fuel.
