Frequently Asked Questions - Fuel Flow Sensor SIMRAD

What type of fuel can be used with the Simrad Fuel Flow Sensor?
The Simrad Fuel Flow Sensor is designed for gasoline only. It does not work with diesel or any fuel system with a return line.
Can the sensor be used with diesel engines?
No, the sensor is specifically for gasoline engines. It will not operate properly on diesel fuel systems.
What flow rates does the sensor measure?
The sensor measures flow rates from 0.6 to 15 US Gal/hour (2.37 to 170.1 L/hour).
What size fuel line is required?
The sensor is designed for a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) fuel hose. If your engine uses different hoses, install a section of 3/8 inch line.
How should the sensor be mounted?
Mount the sensor vertically with the flow direction arrow pointing upwards. It must be installed above the fuel tank's maximum fuel level to prevent leakage.
Is a fuel filter necessary?
Yes, you must install an inline fuel filter between the tank and the sensor to prevent debris from clogging the turbine.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a sharp knife to cut the fuel line and a screwdriver to tighten the hose clamps.
How long is the drop cable?
The drop cable is 3 meters (10 feet) long and ends with a male Micro-C connector for NMEA 2000 networks.
Can the sensor be used with fuel return line systems?
No, the sensor is not compatible with fuel systems that have a return line or stump.
How do I connect the sensor to the network?
Connect the sensor's drop cable to a powered Micro-C NMEA 2000 compliant network using the provided T-joint. The network requires a 12V DC power supply and terminators.

USER MANUAL Fuel Flow Sensor SIMRAD

Whats in the box Fuel Flow Sensor Micro-C T-Joiner Stainless steel hose clamps

Tools required Overview Sharp knife for cutting fuel line Screw driver for tightening hose clamp Other parts required The Fuel Flow was designed to fit a typical 3/8" SAE USCG Type A1 fuel hose. If your engine has different diameter hoses or metal fuel lines, a section of 3/8" fuel line must be installed between the sensor and the existing lines. Cable ties for securing Fuel Flow Sensor

The Fuel Flow Sensor is a device for measuring the flow rate of fuel for gasoline powered boats. ▲ The Fuel Flow Sensor is designed for gasoline engines only. The Fuel Flow Sensor does not operate diesel engine fuel sys- tems, or on any fuel system with a return fuel line or sump.

Before commencing the installation Caution: Gasoline is extremely flammable. If possible, drain the fuel line before you start or shut any flow valves located at the tank. Keep sparks and flame away from the work area. After installation, remember to clean up any spilled fuel. DANGER No Smoking No Open Flames No Sparks GASOLINE 3 Fuel Filter You must install an in-line fuel filter between the tank and the Fuel Sensor sensor. This will prevent a malfunction caused by contaminated fuel. Debris in unfiltered fuel can clog the sensor's turbine and result in rough performance or engine shut down. As with any fuel system, we recommend you always carry onboard a spare fuel filter and an in-line (3/8") splice barb. This allows you to remove a clogged Fuel Sensor or fuel filter and restore engine operation if the fuel filter fails. We strongly recommend that you inspect your entire fuel system at regular intervals.

Plan the installation Use one Fuel Flow Sensor for each engine A Fuel Flow sensor: Arrow indicates fuel flow direction B Fuel Filters: One before each fuel sensor C Fuel Tank

Plan the installation Mount to vibration free surface with the flow direction arrow pointing upwards. Mount as close as possible to the fuel tank To engine Fuel flow direction From tank Mount vertically

Plan the installation Mount the sensor above the tank's maximum fuel level to avoid accidental fuel leakage in case the sensor becomes disconnected. Fuel Flow Sensor Max fuel tank level Gasoline Fuel filter
