Accuracy: The FS-450 relies on two very reliable fuel flow sensors. Each sensor is mounted in the fuel line prior to the fuel distributor or carburetor and measures the actual fuel flowing through the line. Inside the sensor is a turbine wheel that rotates at a rate proportional to the instantaneous amount of fuel passing through it. The rotating turbine interrupts a light beam and an optical sensor counts the pulses of the interrupted beam. A microprocessor in the FS-450 counts the pulses and converts the count to fuel flow. The FS-450 will also track the total fuel used and the fuel remaining.** FS-450000-R and FS-450000-H Ship in 5-10 Business Days.
