I tried combination
#1 because it was a lot easier and allowed me to use fuel hoses I already
had. The people at EI Instruments thought it would work, and it did, some
of the time. I wasted a lot of time tuning and trouble shooting because
although it “ought to work” it didn’t.
Combination #2 was
officially recommended but a major pain to install and involved 2 new
hoses. I check the totalizer every time I add fuel and it is within a few
tenths usually or a gallon and a half rarely. That variation could be from
how full the tanks were at the last fill up vs. the latest fill up.
