The FL-1 offers pilots an accurate, stable digital fuel level for single tank configurations. Not only does the FL-1 display the tank level digitally, it also provides a 210° graphical arc for immediate, quick reference of the tank fuel level.
The FL-1 can be ordered to work with a resistive probe (FL-1R-12 or FL-1R-24, depending on 12 or 24 volts), a capacitive probe (FL-1CA) or a 0-5 volt output such as with some Skysports probes (FL-1V). Please be sure to specify which model you need when you order your FL-1.
The FL-1 is not STC’d for installation in a certified aircraft.
When in flight, fuel will slosh around in the aircraft fuel tanks, creating irritating readings that constantly jump around. The FL-1 has a Fuel Slosh Stabilization calibration point that averages fuel level readings, creating a much more stable, but still extremely accurate fuel reading. Calibrate between a couple of seconds all the way up to over a minute of fuel slosh averaging.
The FL-1 allows installers to program from as little as two all the way up to nine fuel level calibration points in the fuel tank. This flexibility eliminates inaccuracies due to non-linear fuel tanks.
The FL-1 is a simple instrument to install and program. Clear step-by-step instructions make programming the instrument easy to calibrate to your fuel tank senders.
The pilot can easily select between displaying fuel level in Liters, Gallons or Lbs with a switch on the front of the instrument panel.

Great company to deal with. Excellent customer service. [I chose this E.I. instrument because it’s] simple and easy to use.
Just about to begin flying with the EI MVP-50P, so no in-flight feedback yet. But I did study the user manual, then sat in my plane going through the screens, menus, etc. It was very easy and intuitive to locate everything, so I’m confident that it will become second nature to do this in flight… Very happy with all interactions with EI.
A clear capable replacement for a cluster gauge. Vivid colors used which make it easy to see engine status at a glance.
Straight forward installation instructions, great wiring harness. Quick answers from Tech Support.
Good to go! Excellent instructions and easy install. Outstanding instrument!
Easy installation, lightweight solution. It looks good and is easy to use. [I chose E.I. because] I needed to replace my old Hobbs meter. This provided more functionality, allowing me to remove my old digital timer, and EI programmed it to my current airframe time.
Love it!
Great product, frees up space
Installed digital volt/amp gauge in PA 28-181. Great unit easy to install. Much better than original.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Over time, I have purchased six different EI instruments for the two planes I own. The instruments are easy to install, very accurate, and dependable. EI has very stable and easy-to-operate instruments.
I have heard only great words about EI… Won’t be able to install till at least April but I know you are very helpful when it comes to questions.
Sales reps have been very friendly and helpful.
