Red Cube failure?

[timotb]

I was really just hoping for a general discussion about the reliability of this particular fuel flow transducer. My default plan is to remove it since it has never really given data that could be used and trusted. In fact most AFS fuel related sensors have not worked reliably, so I've given up in this department. I am on my 3rd fuel pressure sensor on an aircraft with Total hobbs of 150 and I think this one is failing. Never been able to get either fuel capacity indicators to work properly, just turned them off.

Sometimes old fashioned fuel management is better.

I have a carb 0-360 on a RV-7A with a red cube installed in the fuel line displaying on a 3500S. The red cube is installed suspended in the incoming fuel line to the carb. 600+ hours with no problems and is reasonable accurate. (.5 gal on fill up). I belive hard mounting thses cubes leads to an early failure. My opinion only...

I'm happy with it.....

the hard mount might be the issue
