I just got my fuel flow sensor for my AF2500 Engine Monitor and 

I'm wondering on the best place/way to mount it.



(The sensor is an Electronics International Inc (Bend, Orgeon) 

Model FT-60.)



I'm building a 9 (same fuse more-or-less as the 7).  I'm 

putting in an IO-320 from Aerosport.  Plans have you run the 

fuel feed line from the AFP high pressure pump below the tank 

selector valve to the firewall between the center floor 

stiffeners.



There's not a whole lot of room in there and the latest style 

sensor is rectangular block of red anodized aluminum measuring 

some 1.25 x 1.25 x  2". I believe the preferred method is to 

mount it with the wires exiting the top - which means the 

mounting bolts would be vertical.



Anyone out there have experience with this sensor ?  Did you 

locate it in the cabin floor tunnel forward of the pump ?  Did 

you bolt it to the floor, or glue it ?

Gerry,

I used double sided tape.  Along with the fuel lines I think it will stay

put.  I did have to build a "dog house" over the cut out in the tunnel

cover.  Hope this helps.

I have an afp fuel pump in my 6 and think you would not even know if your 

sending unit was mounted in front of it.  You cant really get your foot in 

there anyway.
