Great 85PSI will cover my current cars, a 93 Chevy TBI at under 20PSI and a 03 Crown Vic with under 60PSi.

It is ideal: https://www.futurlec.com/sensor/flowfuel30l0.shtml

2 Liters is .5283 Gallon per hour

30 Liters is 7.92 Gallon per hour

Ideal would be low reading of 1 Liter which would be around .26 Gallons. There is a good chance it will read lower, just they cannot be 100% sure of its accuracy at that rate.

Which is faintly possible if I can ever get a 100% vapor system up and running.

Per my Scan Gauge II and MPGunio I have seen gallons per hour at idle of around .5, and at cruse around 3 to 6 gallons per hour.

Realistic I can only hope for somewhere around 1 gallon per hour goal.

A good cruse of 35 MPG and 1700 RPMs can run around 2 gallons per.

Thanks.

The paddle sensor that I had some useful results from was the flowfuel 30L02 from futurlec.com rated at 85 psi ,this sensor has a magnet in the paddle wheel and from memory a hall sensor ,very similar operation to the original zemco sensor.
The data sheet is not exactly correct , but at $10.00 !
