Fuel Flow Gauge

Postby Aeraille » Mon Jan 01, 2007 6:46 am

Can someone please advise me where I can purchase an analog or stand alone digital Fuel Flow Gauge, with or without fuel level readouts. I have found some overseas suppliers, but would like to support local industry. A while back I did make contact with a local supplier who was advertising on "Demon's" previous site, but lost the info. Many Thanks

Thanks guys for the response. I have checked both the units on their respective websites and they seem to be great, the MGL is nice and small. Now for the CRUNCH. As I cannot get any prices over this period do you have any idea what they should cost?

Thanks psg, I have checked that site. They have quite a few, but pricy. I will wait till the holidays are over, and ask a few questions. Rather be safe than sorry. Thanks
