Question for all: how accurate are fuel flow meters? The Cherokee Six I fly has an FS450. It had been installed for over a year and never calibrated. After a trip to AirVenture in 2001 with a fuel flow on the guage of 16 gph, imagine my surprise when the fuel truck upload calculated out to 12 gph! A series of four flights over the next couple months resulted in tweaking the calibration to where a three hour trip showed only a 0.6 gallon difference between actual fuel used and calculated fuel used. I couldn't adjust it any better than that.
