Q: I am interested in the Fuel Manager for my boat. What
kind of engines will the Fuel Manager work with?
A: The Fuel Manager is intended for use with Gas
engines.
Note:the Fuel Manager will not work with
recirculating fuel systems such as Diesel and certain
EFI engines that return fuel to the fuel tank. This is
because the Fuel Manager measures flow of fuel past
a sensor in the fuel line. Recirculating fuel systems
return unused fuel back to the tank and this would give
false readings.
