System Description:
The FP-5L is a fuel flow computer instrument packaged in a 2.5" by 2.5" by 2.7" depth case. The instrument
connects to a fuel flow transducer which is mounted in the engine cowling area. A single "PRESS" Channel is
optional and may be used to monitor Fuel Pressure.
The fuel flow transducer is mounted in the fuel line going to the carburetor (or flow divider on an injected
engine). If the rotor in the flow transducer becomes blocked, it will not reduce the flow of fuel to the engine. The
FP-5L instrument connects to the transducers via a wire harness. The instrument and transducers employ con-
nectors so they may be removed safely and quickly from the aircraft.
The FP-5L has eleven display modes: Fuel Flow, Horsepower, Fuel Remaining, Fuel Used Since Fill Up, Fuel
Used for the Flight, Time to Empty, Press Channel, Nautical Miles per Gal, Statute Miles per Gal, Fuel to Destina-
tion and Fuel Reserve.
