went to napa yesterday and what they had was something they call pipe tread fitting that seemed to screw not deep enough according to me. So I went to 2 different marina today and what they offered me was the same thing napa had. They even told me they took those at napa!
So I figured I should contact flo-scan to see if they use pipe tread or tube tread fitting...Any idea about that?
I don't feel like screwing up the meter...

nice and clean. My engines are carburated and I think I need the pulsation damper according to the book, but they did not send / sold them to me. Did you take your filters from where to refer us to? Flow Ezy I think is the name of the company.

totalizer said 100 gals used, I was going to fit 98.x gals back in it period. Repeated about 150 times in the last ten years I'm sure between myself and the new owner. Even closer on a half tank stop. Wonderful freaking product.

what do you guys think?
I've been using Floscan this year. Can't really compare the reading to the real gas consumption because I don't always fill to the top because of the weight... But I looked at my 2 needles today, and, long story short, I burn (sorry it shows I'm burning) , at 3000 rpm roughly 5 gallons per hour, per engine. at 4000 rpm, it shows 10 gallons / hour per engine. at 5000 rpm, it shows 15 gallons per hour per engine. remember I have twin 454-485 HP. Do you guys think it makes sense??? reding it that way I think it shows less than reality... On the other hand, when I pull t the gas dock... well I think it's enough! But seriously, do you think my reading is pretty accurate?
