Floscan Fuel Meters

Running out of fuel in open water is a dangerous affair, therefore accurate, reliable fuel gauges are a must. FloScan Fuel Computers show exactly how much fuel you've used and how fast you're using it. Rather than trying to measure what's sloshing around in your tanks, FloScan electronic sensors determine fuel flow right at your engine, and the computerized display indicates precise consumption totals. Unlike fuel tank float gauges, you receive immediate accurate data, no matter how rough the seas or the number of engines and tanks in your boat. Fuel economy can also be controlled. By watching FloScan to see fuel consumption at different speeds and running conditions, you can choose the most economic speed per condition. Fuel cost savings potential can reach 10% - 15%. In addition, a FloScan Fuel Computer serves as a watchdog on engine performance. For example, if your GPH or MPH increases from what you've already determined to be an efficient operating level, you'll know something is amiss – nicked prop, fouled hull, engine problem, etc. Even something as simple as a defective spark plug can up your fuel consumption by 20% - 40%, with no noticeable change in engine operation. FloScan Flow Sensors are fail-safe. With the same opto-electronic technology used by the safety-driven aviation industry (FloScans are virtually the only fuel flow sensors given FAA approval for use in general aviation aircraft), these fuel computers have a scant margin of error of less that 2% with on-board calibration. Tough, durable components like sapphire rotor bearings, precision aluminum die-castings, and gold-plated detectors perform in extremely rough seas. FloScan has a model for just about every gasoline engine built, from single outboards to high-performance inboards. Our diesel models are the first affordable diesel fuel monitoring systems in the marine world, priced about 75% less than any comparable competitive product. Systems can be matched to your engine; all that's needed is your engine's make, model, and HP rating.
