Hi,
Just installed D180 with fuel flow sensor
Problem is it ranges from 50lph in climb out back to 25lph in cruise then sits around 33lph even up to 40 lph for long periods - 60-80 min. This variation is all at the same rpm and similar load.
After 4 hour flight actual fuel used is dead on 25 lph, whats going on?
I put in K factor, Unit is installed in engine compartment in straight length of pipe, vibration maybe but should be OK.
Variation is my concern, we can always adjust factor to bring it into line otherwise.
