Description
The Garmin GFS 10 Fuel Sensor will add gasoline fuel use and supply data to your Garmin chartplotter or Garmin GMI™ 20 instrument display (see Related Products, below).
This data can be transmitted via Garmin CANet or NMEA 2000 network systems.
The GFS 10 works with most gasoline-powered inboard, I/O, and outboard engines. Unlike other fuel flow sensors, the GFS 10 will include fuel level sensing capability when connected to an existing analog fuel gauge or resistive fuel tank sensor.
• Compatible with Garmin chartplotters and GMI 20 instrument display
• Fuel level function can be used with existing analog fuel gauge
• Fire resistant; complies with USCG standard CFR 33 and ISO 10088:2001
• Includes sensor, fuel filter, hose clamps, NMEA to CANet adapter, NMEA Tee connector and terminator, mounting hardware, user manual
• Use Garmin's adapter cable to connect the GFS 10 to your existing Garmin CANet bus (use Order# 199595)
• For additional cables and connectors see our entry for NMEA 2000 Components
• Do not use the GFS 10 with diesel engine fuel systems
• Do not use the GFS 10 with fuel that contains more than 10% ethanol, such as E85 fuel
• Do not use the GFS 10 on systems with large engine-mounted fuel reservoirs

The basics of NMEA Networking —
Although the following video refers to the now discontinued Garmin GMI10 Instrument Display (replaced by the GMI 20)... it is a great little 4 minute video illustrating the do-it-yourself ease and simplicity of creating a "plug-'n-play" NMEA 2000 Network for displaying the data provided by installed sensors - depth, speed, wind, fuel, etc. - on your chartplotter or other network compatible display, in this case the GMI 20 Instrument Display.
