I just moved the wire over from the analog tach that I took out.

Since it gives MPG it would seem really useful to find the most efficient cruising speed under varying conditions.
The old system with a hand held GPS and a piece of graph paper allows you to refer to the chart as required.
Makes the underway "how goes it?" really easy.

I have a Faria fuel manager but it didnt work on my diesel as it will not account for the return fuel. Giving a false reading on fuel used and GPH burned.

Fortunately, FloScan does take return fuel into account. (Note the two green-labeled white cylinders.)

Thats great i use mine on my Gas center console and it works fine there and i will have to think about installing a floscan on the Honey Badger now that i know it will account and correctly give me stats on my fuel. I am installing a fuel preasure regulator to knock down my inbound fuel to the pump down to around 3psi i think i am getting way more return fuel due to the fact that its an aftermarket pump and its putting out about 10 PSI.
