1. a Diesel Models Diesel models are based on the type of fuel delivery system used and each engine requires a dedicated FloScan system These engines use a variety of fuel pumps including rotary in line and direct injection systems Flow sensor selection is based on the feed and return flow rates associated with the engine Flow sensors are installed on the feed and return lines to display net flow rate and total fuel consumption Certain engines which use the return fuel to cool injectors will require fuel temperature compensation to ensure accurate flow measurement These engines include Detroit Diesel EMD and CAT 3100 3500 Series engines and are limited to the Series 7000 and 9000 Multifunction Systems only All models require a panel mounted SPST ON OFF switch for resetting the totalizer Series 9000 diesel models require an additional SPST switch for selecting GPH or nautical MPG GED Easier to Instal Series K Diesel System The new Series K Diesel System represents a major breakthrough in diesel fuel management The Series K system cuts the installation time and cost in half over previous diesel models Separately mounted pulsation dampers are no longer required New flow sensor design also enhances system performance and accuracy Simplified procedures allow for do it yourself installation Models available for diesel engines from 22.

4. I engines Flow sensors are installed on the feed and return fuel lines to measure the net burn rate of the engine See Series 5800 CruiseMaster section for more info When selecting a gas CruiseMaster or TwinScan model use the following formula to determine the correct GPH scale HP rating x 10 maximum GPH Example 200 hp x 10 20 GPH Select the CruiseMaster model with the 0 20 GPH scale or TwinScan model with 0 24 GPH scale Multifunction and GPS Interface Models do not require scaling since they incorporate a digital display which reads up to 999 GPH Make sure to select proper flow sensor type 20B 231 233 Series for your application Flow sensors are typically installed in line after the filter for added protection from fuel tank debris With certain EFI engines such as Mercruiser the flow sensor can only be installed before the filter Adding a basic coarse filter element before the sensor provides adequate protection All models require a panel mounted SPST ON OFF switch for resetting the totalizer Series 7000 gas models require two additional SPST switches for selecting Port or Stod GPH and Engine Hour Time or Engine Synch Series 9000 gas models require a third SPST switch for selecting GPH or nautical MPG election and Installa

6. hat J ust wanted to let you know how well the FloS can 9000 s with the series K sensors worked for me on our 1400 mile trip to Alaska and the rest of this summers boating Having this equipment onboard has saved us probably hundreds of dollars in fuel expenses It allows us to pinpoint the best trim rem combination in terms of fuel economy and it absolutely shattered the misconception that slower is more efficient As the boat gets loaded down and the sea state kicks up fuel consumption changes dramatically and the FloScans keep us abreast of these changes in real time This allows us to fully ut ilize the range of our boat without fear of running low on fuel since the accuracy was within 2 With this information at hand we can go further out into the Gulf of Alaska in search of trophy ling Cod and Halibut Your equipment has proven itself to be invaluable and will never own a boat that doesnt have FloS cans installed They re just as much part of our required on board equipment as a good chart plotter and fish finder Kevin Sanders ae President Bayliner Owners Club Bayliner 3488 Avanti Flybridge twin Cummins 6BT Diamond diesels 3 15 hp We travel bet ween New York Florida and the Bahamas Our ability to pinpoint our most economical running speed along these routes has enabled us to save a substantial amount of money and fuel In fact we re Sure the units have paid for themselves after just two year
