Over 30 Years in Marine Fuel
Flow Monitoring

________________________________________
FloScan's entry into the marine market began in 1972 with the introduction of the first marine Gallons per Hour meter and totalizer. During that year, Uniflite, then a builder of pleasure craft and Navy patrol boats, approved FloScan for factory installation on its boats. Within the next two years, FloScan had become the principal supplier of marine fuel flow meters for inboard, stern drive, and outboard gas engines - a position that has remained unchanged to the present day.


During the fuel shortages and energy crises of the 1970's and 80's, FloScan expanded its technology base to satisfy the needs of aircraft, automotive, and truck industries for accurate, reliable fuel flow measurement. Since that time, virtually all fuel flow instrumentation installed as original equipment in small planes, cars, and trucks has been manufactured by FloScan. By the mid-80's, FloScan's experience with diesel truck engines enabled the introduction of marine diesel fuel computers for engines up to 500 hp. By the end of the decade, a new family of high capacity flow sensors was introduced to cover petrol and diesel engines up to 3000 hp.

Today, FloScan fuel computers are available for most petrol engines up to 1500 hp and for diesels from 25 to 4000 hp. Top of the line models communicate with the GPS to obtain a speed signal which is used to calculate and display Litres per Nautical Mile over the bottom.


FloScan’s presence in Australia was recently reinforced by the formation of FloScan Australia.
Phil Stanton’s 10 year association with the company and his 30 years of hydraulic and electrical trade experience made him the obvious choice to direct the Australian operation and provide local backup.

Accuracy +
Foss Maritime, one of the largest tug boat companies with over 200 vessels operating worldwide, tested FloScan Fuel Computers on the M/V Justine Foss powered by twin EMD 12-645 2150 hp engines. This tug operated between Washington and Alaska running approximately 1000 nautical miles each way. The Justine Foss made 8 round trips using approximately 80,000 gallons of fuel per trip.
Huge Savings
BREMERTON — Thousands of gallons of diesel fuel can be saved by slowing Bainbridge Island-Seattle ferries by a couple of knots in off-peak runs, state officials say — and they're going for it. A four-week fuel conservation study confirmed that at least a million gallons of fuel can be saved annually, about 90,000 gallons a month,
