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.

Works like a charm. Accurate and reliable. A&P quoted 8 hrs for the install and paperwork. YMMV.

I ordered this product to replace the same unit that failed after 14 years of excellent reliability. Straight forward to use and far better than unreliable tank gauges

Q: Does the JPI FS 450 GRAVITY FED (P/N: 10-00134) come with a FAA FORM 8130-3?

No, these do not come standard with an 8130-3 form. These must be requested at the time of order.

Q: Does the JPI FS 450 unit include the transducer?

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

Q: I just purchased a 1966 Piper PA28-235 with no current fuel computer system installed. What else do I need to order with the JPI FS 450 for my mechanic to install the system?

Please note that the FS 450 cannot be used as a primary fuel flow in your panel (in can be used for secondary). The JPI FS 450 comes with all the parts to install the FS 450 but other parts like tubing and connections from your fuel system need to be ordered separate. We recommend you and your mechanic review the manual on our documents tab before ordering to make sure the install is efficient.
