I still have my display but not sure if it’s what you’re looking for. I’ll send a photo.

Thank you

As an option, you could send yours back to Shadin to have the display replace, if they are still doing them.  I had my display replaced by them a number of years ago.

I will post a picture when I get home.  On a cruise, so hard to get to my hangar now.

I think your 252 had a Hoskins FT-101, not a Shadin.

Skyman Avionics has mine for sale. 541-604-9573. info@skymanavionics.com. https://www.skymanavionics.com/product-page/shadin-fuel-flow-indicator-912041t

Previous owner had it repaired by Shadin in 2010 and I have the 8130. It was working fine when removed.

I removed one from my J last week. It was working fine when removed.

I don't understand why someone would want to remove the Miniflo-L from their panel even when upgrading it.  If there is one item where multiplicity of function is useful it is fuel quantity and fuel computations.  Even though I installed the MVP-50 in my upgrade, I kept the Miniflo-L due to its usefulness.  When my display goes out again, the unit is going in for repair, not removal.

Probably because it’s the easiest sensor to live without. One will not loose orientation in space if fuel flow is gone.  On top of that shadin fuel flow sensor was always gumming up for me, even replacement become sticky after about a year.

@amekler there may not be anything really wrong with yours.  The intensity of the display is controlled by a potentiometer.  Over time, with vibration of the panel, dirt, etc., this potentiometer can lose slider contact, resulting in the display intensity going to full bright or full dim.  Simply wiggling the potentiometer back and forth a bit can often re-establish contact and restore reasonable intensity.  We have had exactly the same problem as you, and I was able to resolve in just a few minutes with a small screwdriver.

Instructions from the installation/maintenance manual are shown below.  Suggest you slide the box out of the panel, tweak the display potentiometer a little, and re-install.  It can't hurt, and might help.

interesting. if I shine a flashlight on the sensor the display goes full bright. when I turn the flashlight off it goes full dim. I'll try your suggestion.
