I have also looked at the info on the Europa website, which seems quite similar to what is published in my copy of the Owners Manual. My inspector has plenty of experience and will no doubt cope, in spite of my best efforts. Good to have your help.

This is effectively the same as I will do with my two-sender set-up : momentarily switch off the feed (total) flow sender and switch the return flow sender to the feed input as a single sender. Your 9L/hr return flow is close to what I measured when I, too, had a system with only one sender - I got approx. 10L/hr. However, if you have adjusted the k-factor to get a reasonably good totalizer function (i.e. adjusted the k-factor so that the displayed fuel consumed on an average flight is approximately correct), your actual return flow is higher than the displayed flow, of course.

I have the inner door handle guarded by a plate, and I have painted the closed shadow of the door handle in Red on the outside, I have greased the shoe bolts where they enter the frame, this made a world of difference in taking the strain off the door handle, they close feather light now, but also open feather light. However with the doors properly closed, how far should the shoe bolt go into the frame,bearing in mind there is a gap between door and frame, and what are the chances of the actual door flexing under airflow so the bolts could spring out you only need one to spring . Are they any tel tell signs that could point to this happening, the possibilities in turbulence or a dive to VNE.

I regret that the 9lit/hr indicated figure I gave in my last email is actually wrong - 9lit/hr is indicated with the 912ULS running at idle and with boost pump 'on'. I just checked the boost pump-only flow rate (my a/c is in the garage next door for the winter), and it reads just over 4Lit/hr with a K factor of 17030 - which I think all tallies rather well with your comments about 'spot' flow rates vs totalised flow rates and the 9 lit/hr figures you have found. My K factor will be specific to the sensor/Stratomaster setup of course, other combinations may easily have different K factors.
