Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge
- The fuel gauge consists of a precision-calibrated two-bulb pipette and control valves.
- It mounts on the instrumentation frame of the test set and connects between the fuel tank and the engine under test. All connections are made using self-sealing couplings.
- The couplings ensure the fuel gauge can be connected and disconnected quickly and effi ciently with minimum loss or spillage of fuel.
- The fuel supply from the tank is then cut off via a valve so that the engine draws fuel from the pipette only.
- Students record the time taken to consume a set volume of fuel, from which they can accurately calculate the flow rate.
- Fuel enters the pipette from the tank. Suitable for use with petrol or diesel.
