I have an O-320. I just installed a JPI engine monitor, with a floscan fuel flow transducer.
My fuel pressure before the install was 4.5 - 5 psi. After the install it is 7 psi. According to the Lycoming Operators manual 7 is still acceptable. But I'm just wondering if a fuel flow transducer can increase fuel pressure? I assume it adds some resistance to the circuit and so it makes some sense that fuel pressure would increase.
