Excellent product with easy install! Can’t put into words how comforting it is to know exactly how much fuel is available. Everything in aviation has come a long way since 1955 when my Tripacer was certified, the FS-450 brings the fuel management into the present century!

Fast and easy to buy online with Aircraft Spruce. The Alaska store needs more staffing to be more efficient. They are always pleasant but they are slammed.

As of today I have not been able to get the FS-450 to work. After the install and it didnt work I contacted tech support who made me feel like I was some kind of ignorant moron. There suggestion was to blow through the transducer to see if the pulse wheel was spinning which it was. So what now? Well you can call the RMA department and get an RMA to send it back to be bench tested, DUH! After 15 emails back and forth with JPI RMA department I finally got the RMA and sent the transducer back. Im currently waiting a reply. Needless to say Im not impressed with JPI, especially Tech Support, and will not be doing business with them again.

Very nice! Easy to read and programing was easy also. Two videos on YouTube from JPI on how to use it.
Excellent addition to any panel.
Best upgrade I did for the plane. When coupled to a compatible GPS it provides a great sense of fuel quantity situational awareness. Itll let the pilot know if there is enough gas to make it to the next waypoint or not. Well worth the price.
Very good

Yes it does as you have to select gravity fed (231) or fuel pump (201) system.

The recommended transducers are listed for the FS450 in the installation manual by JPI. Using another manufacturer’s transducer is not recommended or tested.
