80's Imps Retrofit Fuel Flow meter

[Imp1983@xxxxxxx]

Hi all,

Just though I would pass some info on to the group.  

This weekend I disassembled the Fuel Flow meter on my car.  I thought that 
maybe by cleaning it (and snooping around inside it) I could get it to work 
properly.  Well, it still doesn't work but here's what I found:

There are three fuel connections, Inlet, Outlet, and a Return line (to the 
tank?). Inside the housing is a (flexible?) diaphragm which divides the 
housing vertically in half.  One side is where the fuel inlet/outlet is, on 
the back side is a cupped metal disk (thin sheet stock) that is held in place 
by the diaphragm onto housing ribs.  The diaphragm appears to seal the halves 
from each other.  There are two passages that lead to the 'electronics'(?) 
area where the wires come out.  There are NO moving parts visible.

The bottom of the 'electronics' area has what looks like a metal plug that 
may be removable by a special spanner wrench.  I tried to remove it, but only 
succeeded in chipping off a piece of the housing.  I gave up on it, not 
wanting to break it.

The diaphragm was misshapen and the metal disc was loose and flopping around 
inside.  I reshaped it and reinstalled the disc.  (You could see where it had 
been.)

There are numbers and what looks like German writing on the outside of the 
main housing as well as numbers on the 'electronics' area as follows:

'Electronics Area':

That's all folks.  I may try to open that 'plug' someday.  I will have to 
make a wrench for it.
