Engine measurement devices

[DonFromTX]

I am attempting to acquire sensors for engine measurements, the engine manufacturer wants Oil Pressure 20-100 fuel pressure 45-65, and temps to 250F.
I see the senders you offer are a bit different than this, where is a good source of senders that are compatible with skyview that would more closely agree with the needed ones?

what type of engine is this? For my Lycoming IO540, The oil pressure is fine, I have the same range, the max oil temp of 245F, same deal. My fuel pressure is max of 55psi. The sensors all work fine for me. I have the older versions however, if that makes any difference, as a minimum you can get those from Dynon.

My engine is a Viking, it is a Honda Fit automotive engine modified for aircraft use.

We sell a 150PSI oil sender. This is what everyone uses. Just because it goes to 150 doesn't mean it won't read 20-100 accurately. In fact, it should be accurate within 1/2 PSI all the time.

We sell a 75PSI fuel pressure sender. This is perfect for 65 PSI.

Our temp senders will read 245 just fine.

I don't see a good reason to use any senders besides the ones we sell. All your numbers are a lot like ones on conventional aircraft engines. You don't want a sender that stops at 100 PSI if your oil pressure is normally 100 PSI, because once you hit the top of the range the sender just stops. Thus you'd have no idea if you have 100PSI or a broken bypass putting out 150PSI.

Can you give me a part number for the 75 lb fuel pressure sender and the 245 degree oil/coolant temp sensor?  I am ready to order and cannot find those in the listing (prefer 1/8 npt threads).

Almost all of our sensor prices can be found at http://dynonavionics.com/downloads/order_form.pdf, though the 75 PSI fluid pressure sensor isn't currently on there (for complicated reasons). It's p/n 101692-000, and costs $85 like the other ones. Give us a call to order it.

Thanks for the info, I will call in an order in the morning.
