New fuel gauge

Install this and report back. Looks good if not too costly.

Early on, we replaced our mechanical fuel pump when diaphragm started leaking,with an electric one right by the engine.

It is, probably due to use on boats. Runs about $1000 new.

Wouldn't mind installing one for the generator and one for the engine - looks like lots of good information. But, it will have to wait until the clerk at the corner store decides to sell me the correct lottery ticket. For some reason he keeps giving me crapola.

1000 bucks is chump change compared to whet we have poured into our conversions or will. Maybe there is a more reasonable unit from another mfgr.

Chump change? If you got it, then sure. But as they say, a thousand here and a thousand there, and pretty soon you're talking real money.

At this point something like this would be a luxury and not a necessity at all. I can keep filling up every 600 miles without having to spend anything more than I have already to track things.

Floscan is the standard.

Being half way across the Atlantic and burning more fuel than calculated is a life altering situation.

Priced a marine electronics suite recently?

Floscan system is a bargain!

But only the worst of our busnut OCD has any real need for one here on land, with a fuel station at every exit.

Happy coaching!

I don't  need it. My main tank has a new OEM gauge and my generator tank has a new other style one.

An old friend used to say, "A thousand dollars is not a lot of money -- unless you need it."

[Jim Blackwood]

Hmm... stick,... thousand dollars. stick...  thousand dollars... I dunno. Tough choice.

Guess I splurged...spent about $15 on the mileage marker...

One thousand dollars are also referred to one aviation unit for private aircraft owners(grin).
