Welcome to the Website of FloScan Instrument Company, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of fuel flow instrumentation for permanent installation on diesel and gasoline engines. FloScan Fuel Computers are installed worldwide on commercial and recreational boats, stationary industrial engines, heavy duty trucks, automobiles, and general aviation aircraft... everywhere internal combustion engines are used.
Companies like Ford, Chrysler, Renault, General Motors, Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Navistar, Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Cigarette, Fountain, and ProLine have installed more than half a million of our flow sensors and fuel computers in cars, planes, trucks, and boats where accuracy and dependability are mandatory. FloScan systems have found their way onto almost every make of gasoline and diesel engine in the world between 50hp and 2500hp. In the record breaking, non-stop around-the-world flight of the "Voyager" in 1986, the pilots depended on FloScan Instruments. And so can you.
Whatever your fuel measurement requirement, FloScan probably provides by far the most economical solution - with system accuracies that equal those of instruments costing much more. In the case of diesel systems the difference in cost is often thousands of dollars. Call our experts toll free at (800) 522-3610 for assistance in specifying a system to meet your needs. You can do so with the knowledge that in many applications a FloScan Fuel Computer will pay for itself in fuel savings alone in less than a year.

Run Without Fear of Empty Fuel Tanks
Adventure without misadventure
How many times have you hesitated to try new grounds or stay our longer because you couldn't trust Your fuel tank gauges?
Introducing a remarkable tool that'll give you more fishing and greater range with no fuel worries. Plus, it pays for itself: The FloScan Fuel Computer.
FloScan Fuel Computers show exact fuel use
FloScan Fuel Computers show exactly how much fuel you've used, and how fast you're using it.
Rather than trying to measure what's sloshing around in your tanks, FloScan's electronic sensors determine fuel flow right at your engine. And the computerized display indicates precise consumption totals. There's no guesswork.
Unlike fluctuating fuel tank float gauges, you receive immediate, accurate data. No matter how rough the seas, no matter how many tanks or engines in your boat.
For less than the cost of a tow
A FloScan Fuel Computer pays for itself in fuel savings alone. You can easily set your boat's most efficient speed by watching your FloScan to see how fuel usage varies at different speeds and running conditions. Most skippers can save 10%-15% on their fuel bill, so the serious fisherman/cruise can pay for his FloScan in less than a season.
Something else to consider: a FloScan Fuel Computer costs less than a typical tow if you run out of fuel. (Think of it as an insurance policy with an automatic dividend of more fishing and real dollar savings).
Monitors your boat's heartbeat
A FloScan Fuel Computer serves as a watchdog on engine performance. For example, if your GPH or MPH increases from what you've already determined to be a efficient operating level, you'll know something's amiss - nicked prop, fouled hull, engine problem, etc. Even something as simple as a defective spark plug can up your fuel consumption by 20-40%, with no other noticeable change in engine operation.
Fail-safe observer
FloScan Flow Sensors are fail-safe. With the same opto-electronic technology used by the safety-driven aviation industry (FloScan's are virtually the only fuel flow sensors given FAA approval for use in general aviation aircraft), our fuel computers have a scant margin of error of less than 2% with on-board calibration.
Tough, durable components like sapphire rotor bearings, precision aluminum die-castings, and gold-plated detectors perform in seas nasty enough to drive barracudas below decks.
Outboards to diesel cruisers
FloScan has a model for just about every gasoline engine built, from single outboards to high-performance inboards (EFI) engines with return lines are the only exception.
And our diesel models are the first affordable diesel fuel monitoring systems in the marine world, priced about 75% less than any comparable competitive product. We'll match the system to your engine. All we need is your make and model.
International leaders in fuel flow technology
We've been connected to some well-known engines. FloScan is the world's #1 producer of fuel flow sensor systems - over 500,000 used on cars, trucks, boats, and airplanes. (As a matter of fact, we invented them for each of these industries).
Mercury Marine uses our fuel flow instruments to test engines. So does Power and Motoryacht Magazine for their boat test reports.
Over the road, in the air
There are more than 70,000 FloScan sensors aboard such aircraft as Cessna, Piper, and Beechcraft, and such trucks as Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, and International.
Remember in 1986, the record-breaking, non-stop, around-the-world flight of the "Voyager'" in which error-free fuel monitoring was absolutely paramount to the mission? Pilots Yeager and Rutan were guided by FloScan fuel flow meters. We'll give you the same security at sea.
Whether you're fishing the Canyons, the Keys, Cabo, Catalina, or the Kenai, FloScan can extend your range and give you peace of mind - with an instrument that pays for itself.
