I’ve attached the picture of my fuel flow transducer installation.

I’d ask Scott. He can fill in the blanks. I do know they are extremely accurate down to a 10th of a gallon.
Here is his email.

Kent, how well do they work with the stock gauges? Or what gauge do you suggest for primary fuel quantity?

I’d like to add, CiES Fuel level senders are a physical bolt-in replacement for Piper fuel quantity senders should you want to compliment the EDM-700
Here is the link.

As the installation manual of the EDM 700 cites, route sensor wires so that they aren’t in close proximity to spark plug lead.
The fuel flow transducer should be in middle of a horlzontal run of flex tubing and approximately on the same level as the carburetor inlet.
I’ll take a pic of the one on my Comanche and post it here later today.

Hi,

I am currently planning the install of an EDM-700 and fuel flow on my PA-28-140. I am a mechanic and will be working with another mechanic as well, so don’t worry. I just wanted to see how you guys did the fuel flow transducer install, as I’ve seen multiple methods. If you have pictures as well, it would be appreciated.

Also, since I’m still planning all that, any routing pictures for the sensor wiring and such would be appreciated as well, as I’ve once again seen different ways of doing things.

Thank you all, stay safe, stay healthy!
