WANTED: Info on the older Propane powered Flow Gauges.

[Bob Higginson]

Hi Members, I've searched the site for info on the older propane powered flow gauges, but I haven't found what I'm looking for.

Does anyone have a schematic or a flow chart showing how to build one?

Thanks in advance!!

Bob

Hi Terry, thanks! Yes.... I've seen this post but I need to identify the parts, and the plumbing that connects. them.

Magnehelic and ball type flow gauges are expensive. Bill McGraw designed a propane meter using a regulator, a standard blood pressure gauge, 5 lb pressure gauge and a quality aquarium air pressure valve. I have been using mine for about 40 years. If interested I will post pix and instructions.

I've got one that I don't use anymore. Let me know if you want it.

Grab Mike's. That's the simplest. If not I can post next week as I'm racing this weekend.

My setup ... for what it's worth.
