Default Navman 2100 Fuel Computer

Hi,

does anybody have experience with a Navman 2100 fuel computer; ease of use ? Accurate read out ? The installation looks pretty straight forward when reading the manual I downloaded.

Kind regards,

Johan

    In mean time I installed the Navman 2100 fuel computer, this was not a very difficult job.

    Most difficult was finding a correct vertical place higher than the fuel tank and with the possibility to reuse the fuel lines (as I did not want to drive to get new ones).

    I also created a small aluminum plate that holds the fuel flow sensor which made it easier to install it in a secure and fix way near the engine.

    Edit August 1st: "How to" has been published in the How to section of our forum.

    Fist test with the garden hose was very positive, it gives you accurate read out how many fuel left and shows the exact per hour consumption when running at a certain RPM. In this way you can find out your RPM cruising sweet spot with the least fuel consumption.

    Cheers,

    Johan
