The installation was straightforward and quite easy. Reliability and accuracy far exceed the original [aircraft’s] oil pressure/temperature systems. Also, the price was about a third of the cost to replace the gauge cluster.

Installing [EI’s FP-5L] in my RV 6. . . owned an FP-5L 6 years ago in a Cessna 206 on floats in a commercial operation in Alaska. Getting every ounce of payload, and coming home across Cook Inlet with the Cessna gas gauges near or on empty, I spent a lot of time explaining the benefits of the Fuel flow gauge… and reassured my passengers there were 12 gallons of fuel on board. I’m a believer…
I like how the kits ship with everything needed for install and the wire labeling was very helpful.

I have several EI units in my aircraft and have been very pleased with their reliability over the years. The other great part, besides the unit themselves, is the support from you all. Thank you for your support over the years… I chose IE for your reputation for quality and pricing. I have been very pleased with my units. My graphic engine analyzer, fuel flow meter, volt/amp meter, RPM and now Manifold gauge.
