Fuel Flow Sensor (plastic) K-factors and Jet Sizes

Please see the attached table for K-factors and Jet Sizes for the plastic Fuel Flow Sensor:

Fuel Flow Sensor Jet Sizes					l/Gal
	Flow Rates				3.785
	l/Min		Gal/hr
	Min	Max	Min	Max	K-Factor
Jet (803) 1mm	0.05	0.5	0.8	7.9	17000
Jet (815) 2mm	0.10	1.5	1.6	23.8	7000	Recommended for Rotax
Jet (845) 3mm	0.15	4.5	2.4	71.3	3500	Recommended for Jabiru
Jet (865) 4mm	0.18	6.5	2.9	103.0	2100
No Jet (810)	0.20	10.0	3.2	158.5	1420
3mm Jet is the smallest recommended for gravity-fed engines

Important Note: Jet needs to be installed ALL THE WAY into the intake for flow sensor to ready accurately.
