Have not installed Fp-5l yet.
Having flown behind the FP-5L for almost 2 years, nothing but 5 star recommendation. Outstanding to have the fuel awareness this fuel flow & totalizer provides. For the Aux function, I installed as EGT probe so I could replace my original Alcor EGT unit. Best part... a pilot can upgrade to a CGR-30, and keep the EGT & fuel transducer already installed, as they are the same part numbers for a specific aircraft. Service and support from EI is outstanding.
This is a great addition to my cockpit. I have an older Mooney with 3 fuel tanks to manage. Two 17.5 gallon and one 14 gallon tank. Connecting this device to the EI voice annunciator and then setting a 4 gallon recurring usage alarm will warn me every time I have used 4 gallons. That gives me 4 warnings on each of the wing tanks, and 3 warnings on the aux tank before I have to switch. Very convenient and much more accurate than a 30 minute timer. The Fuel Remaining is handy to compare with Time Remaining when the wind has been worse that projected, or when you've had to fly low longer than expected, and your fuel situation is closing in on the reserves. All in all a fantastic tool for peace of mind.

It does come with a fuel transducer and if your aircraft is under 350HP then you will need to order the FP-5L with the FT-60 transducer.
You will need 10-03248.
Per EI: The FP-5L can monitor fuel pressure through our FM-FP module - note that this is not a primary indicator and any existing fuel pressure gauge must be retained. Part number 10-25337.
Per EI: : "FP-5L-60 package includes the FT-60 flow transducer, the FP-5L-90 package includes the FT-90 flow transducer and the FP-5L-180 package includes the FT-180 flow transducer."
Yes. The STC is included with the FP-5L's installation instructions and is also available at no charge from the EI website.
