FUEL WATCH SYSTEM
 Is a DPS INSTRUMENTS> MINI FUEL WATCH P/N P1085 it has a sensor mounted near the carb. in line mounting which pulses 10,000 times per gallon of fuel burned. the dash instrument displays total fuel,fuel burn rate, fuel used per trip,time left in tanks and
time to empty. you only have to remember to keep total fuel updated when you refuel. the system is not recommended for gravity feed. I have flown it for 2 years and it does a great job of fuel management. It can also be calibrated to the engine burn rate.
 
happy flying N37130
