Replacement transducer for Fuel Mizer

[Tom Horne]

I have a Fuel Mizer (equivalent to Northstar F210), but the sender is inop. I see this is a common problem. In the plane I have it's the only size display of fuel flow that will fit in the panel location it's in. Has anyone replaced the failure prone sender on this fuel flow meter with another type, like a red cube or Floscan? And if so, how does it work?

Thanks,
Tom

I had a Northstar fuel flow instrument on one of my boats years ago that used that same transducer. Experianced multiple transducer failures in a two year period.

Any chance of fitting a 2 1/4" replacement unit in it's place?

Yep, Mike I saw all the failures in my internet research. I don't think I can fit another one in there. Maybe I should go to fuel pressure at the flow divider instead as an indication of fuel flow? I'll research that next.

Thanks,
Tom
