I have used a Microflo for 4000 hours now. I have found that unless you leave power on for about one minute after setting FOB, the gal remaining, or the fuel used, I can't remember which, will not be correct. Yes, it is EEPROM memory, and does not need power to hold data, but seems to need power...
