Long-term testing and regular use

In total, around 60 liters of kerosene have now been pumped out of the filling station. A very reliable unit that I would never want to be without.

Uwe, Thank you. In Ch 2 you noted “ The flow meter I use has a flow range of 0.05 -3.0 L/min and the repeatability of frequency response is +-0.5% (at the same operating condition)”. Can I assume this accuracy is representative of the total volume delivered over time?
I might consider building one using your data. If so, how can one reimburse you for your efforts? Are you considering selling them as a kit?
Thomas, the accuracy is described in the manufacturer's data sheet. I can also say that it is absolutely reliable. You can draw good conclusions from the amounts of fuel refueled after each flight.
I don't offer it as a kit. But you can send me a PM. I'm sure we can find a good solution.
