Thanks to all that replied. Here's what I ended up doing. Sensor is mounted on
bracket attached to fuse longeron. I can undo the input tube and put it right
back on the fuel pump if it ends up not working out. I can also add a dampener
if really needed.

Hey Lucky
I doubt very much that I am more clever than you, but I did mount my
flow sensor on the engine side of the firewall. My high gascolator is
in the left wing root. Fuel comes into the selector, out the
gascolator, then froward to the hight pressure pump mounted just in
front of the left gear tower. I put a 90 deg fitting through the
firewall, then used about 4" of aluminmum tubing to go to the flow
sensor. From the other side of the sensor I used the flexible hose to
go to the mechanical pump.
There is a picture about 1/4 of the way down the page (the one of the
left side of the firewall showing the starter relay as well) that
shows the flow sensor and the 90 deg fitting.

My RMI uMonitor seems to show a steady flow, and I haven't had any
problems yet, mind you, I only have 9.7 hours so far ;-)
Cheers

or two. I can't see installing one inside the fuse once the high
pressure fuel pump has been installed per Van's instruction and I
can't find a way to 'safely' install fwf forward due to all the rigid
aluminum tubing I'd have to use to get the desired straight runs.
Surely someone more clever than me has figure it out. Any takers? :-)
