Robinson: Accurate Fuel usage
I previously flew 44's and 22's and loved the fact that you had a separate fuel gauge for each tank and a low fuel warning sensor, so basically 3 methods of checking. On looking at an older machine (2 tanks) with a very poor and unreliable system, I was wondering how best to check the fuel usage from full. You obviously can't easily fit new sender units to the tanks so wondered if there was some sort of flow meter which would accurately measure how much fuel was coming out of the tanks. Is there such a device in this simplistic form and if so what sort of costs. I know you can dip tanks, work out your normal fuel burn etc etc I just wanted something a bit more scientific for in flight monitoring. Thanks as usual for any help and advice!
