What did you buy today

I think to get an extremely accurate fuel consumption meter, you will have no choice but to go down the Scintex path. Personally I think it's overkill and won't benefit you much. As you are no doubt aware you need to do your fuel calculations before you are on a trip and then carry the appropriate qty of fuel. The ability to measure your actual fuel usage on the fly really won't matter if you don't have the fuel with you to start with. Better to assume worst case scenario and carry enough fuel to cover this on some shorter similar style trips. You will soon work out what you need to carry to cover the longer trips in similar country and conditions.

The system I am in discussions about is not advertised on their website. It's a highly precise system with totally different style of flowmeters and controllers. My concerns stem from a conversation with the guys in Bunbury who set up these pumps. They told me the consumption on this engine can be as high as 1 lpm!! Can you now see why I might be a little focused on accurate fuel use rates! This is at WOT but still is horrendous. I will see where this lands, but spending 1k in advance on accurate information is better in my mind on a number of fronts and does allow for better planning.
