View Full Version : Maybe I should go with the flow.

The fuel gauge on my '69 hasn't worked well for a long time and now it reads half all the time.
I have to assume that the sender is the culprit. While leafing through a boating magazine, I came across the "Navman" power fuel. An inexpensive($150-) in-line flowmeter with a 2" display that could replace the gauge on the dash. It gives instant gph, volume remaining in tank and a low fuel alarm. Seems pretty cool and a whole lot easier than going after the inaccesible sending unit.
Anyone know if this thing is any good?

have not heard of that unit, check its flow rate some restrict flow. I know of a few that ran lean after installing flow meters. Have you tried a web search for input?

Just looked it up, it does look like a real nice unit. Says it will feed 300hp, keep us posted on how well it does the job.

I've used that unit before on my Blackfin, (now I have the GPS version on my Trojan). They work great! Very well put together, also.

It's nice to get instant input on mileage and fuel usage.
