Hi Bill: I have no experience with Flo Scan and diesel installations but I am sure that they can be made to work there because that has to be most of their market. Why don't you call them? They also have a website. They work perfectly with our big old gasoline engines but the we have no return line issues. Joe & Debbie Engel Marine Computer Services & JRE Computer Consulting, Inc.

Flo-Scan Spent a pile having a yard put one on my Detroit Diesel 453 (42' trawler). After they got it in they discoverd it had to be calibrated. Yard couldn't do it, neither can I. All I get are garbage readings. Any idea where I could get it calibrated? It's complicated because with a 2 cycle Detroit 80% of the fuel going to the engine goes back into the tank after having been used for cooling. So they have to meter it both coming and going & make the calculation. Plenty of room for innacuracies. do these things really work? --Bill Raney

> Hi Bill: If memory serves me correctly. the simple method to calibrate Flo-Scan is to top your tanks off, go for a ride, return and re-top the tanks. Then make the adjustments. Just a question, but why did you use a installer who had no experience with the Flo-scan unit???? Flo_scan is a very good company most of there business is with aircraft fuel flow monitors.
