Abstract
In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a fuel system can include, a fuel device, a fuel characterization device operatively connected to the fuel device configured to measure performance data of the fuel device before installation into an engine fuel system, and an electronic engine controller operatively connected to the fuel characterization device to receive the measured performance data of the fuel device on start up and calculate a metered mass flow based at least in part on the measured performance data of the fuel device. The electronic engine controller can be configured to control the fuel device to direct, meter, or pump fuel to the engine through the fuel device based on the calculated metered mass flow.
