Put a proper flow sensor on; one that has far less risk of constriction and
blockage. ie a Flowscan sensor.<

I totally agree with Duncan. The Floscan is far superior. Paddy found that
it was impossible to satisfy the fuel flow test with the restriction of the
Benwick sender. If you take one apart you will be horrified to see how small
the aperture is. Conversely the Floscan causes minimal flow restriction. If
my memory is correct the pressure loss @15gall/hr and the impellor stalled
is only 0.15psi. As it is suitable for much higher fuel flows restriction
should not be an issue. In terms of accuracy Paddy and I are both recording
figures of less than 0.1% which is well within their quoted accuracy of 2%.
