GUN-808 Member 251 Member For: 11y 1m 26d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 07/04/14 09:08 AM Share Posted 07/04/14 09:08 AM Think about it this way, it reads the fuel going back to the tank, this fuel then gets pumped back to the surge and the circle starts again.If your theory was correct by refill time the gauge would read lower again but this is not the case, whatever the gauge shows when I fill up, it shows when that tank has almost emptied.I emailed Zeitronix in regards to this issue but they don't want to listen, they simply cannot admit that their flow through sensors (Continental Brand) read lower than their earlier sensors (Seimens Brand).They asked me plenty of questions about my setup and how I was testing the fuel, I replied to everything but eventually gave up.I still think it is a great unit but would have liked it to be as accurate as possible.Yep gotchya.. havent had any contact with this device and just considered the possibility..Id much rather the map altering design of the standalones which adjust rather than just display a number essentially :/Think ill save my pennies and spend it elsewhere till such time as it is updated..I also hate the thought of the fact of flashing tunes because of the inconsistencies of a few %% :(Dyno time for each map etc its all gunna add up in time.. Back to the thought of Water/Meth injection which should owe me about $800 installed tuned and set it and forget it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should of read all the pages of posts before posting myself. All good im only human and still learing about E85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
