The Lowrance Fuel Flow Sensor (000-11517-001) is an electronic gasoline flow sensor built for boaters who want accurate fuel consumption data on their Nmea 2000 network. It measures real-time burn rate, then tracks trip usage, seasonal totals, and cumulative consumption across any compatible networked display. Pair it with a speed source already on the network and the system calculates fuel economy on the fly. This sensor is made for gasoline engines only and is not compatible with diesel or any fuel system that uses a return line. It connects through the standard blue 5-pin female connector found across Nmea 2000 sensors.
The sensor is optimized to read flow rates from 0.6 to 45 gallons per hour, covering most outboard and inboard gasoline engines. It installs in-line on 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) inside-diameter fuel line, positioned above the maximum tank level and downstream of the fuel filter. Back pressure stays low at 0.5 PSI at 20 gph and 1 PSI at 40 gph, so it won't starve the engine. The included 10-foot cable runs to the network backbone, and a single network can support up to three engines using one sensor per engine. In the box you get the sensor, two 1-inch hose clamps, and a T-connector. Bulkhead pass-through requires a 22 mm (7/8-inch) hole. Lowrance backs it with a 1-year full warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
This is the sensor to reach for when you want exact fuel numbers feeding your chartplotter instead of guessing off a tank gauge. Owners running twin or triple gasoline outboards can monitor each engine independently and spot a burn-rate imbalance before it becomes a problem on the water. Wire it into your existing backbone using the right cables and connectors, and consider adding a fuel data manager if you need tank-level integration alongside flow data. We carry the supporting network hardware to complete the install.
No. The Lowrance 000-11517-001 is built for gasoline engines only. It will not function correctly with diesel fuel or with any fuel system that uses a return line. Diesel boaters should look at a sensor purpose-built for their fuel type and return-line setup.
A single Nmea 2000 network supports up to three engines, with one fuel flow sensor installed per engine. Each sensor reports its own flow data independently, so you can track twin or triple outboards separately on a compatible display.
The sensor installs in-line on 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) inside-diameter fuel line and ships with two 1-inch hose clamps. Mount it above the maximum tank level and downstream of the fuel filter for accurate readings.
Yes, when paired with a speed source already on the network. The sensor measures real-time flow, and the system combines that with speed data to calculate and display fuel economy, along with trip usage and seasonal totals.
You get the fuel flow sensor, a 10-foot cable, two 1-inch hose clamps, and an N2K T-connector for the network backbone. Bulkhead pass-through installs require a 22 mm (7/8-inch) hole.
