Bob,

pump and the fuel controller.  It has worked well for 200 hours, but I have
found that the long term average fuel use measured by the VMS system is
about 6% higher than actual fuel used.>

I mounted the flow transducer horizontally on the engine mount between the 
throttle body and the distribution spider (Injected 320) with nothing to 
cause turbulence
at the input side and I also see about 6% higher usage (sometimes it seems to 
be 10%).  I have no solution other than to "fake" add fuel on long trip when 
I get the "total fuel low" warning.  The fuel level indications for the wings 
and header are very accurate.

Any others out there?
