: Power adder and DIC

I recently installed a TransferFlow tank. This time I am not going to install the LCD quantity indicator because the DIC seems accurate enough (within 5%) to rely on the gallons used indication. Does anyone know if and how will this change if I install a power adder?

It depends on what type of power adder you add. I had a Quadzillia tuner and it through the DIC calculations way off; now my Edge unit is a little off, but it's close enough. Close enough unless you are one of those people who drives until the low fuel light comes on.

My DIC averages 9.55% high on MPG and 9.66% low on gals used over about 7,000 miles using juice level 2 and 4.

Thanks for the replies. Ragtop, your error between DIC and actual is about the same as I had prior to tank install and no juice. Hopefully with LLY Juice, when available, it will stay about the same.
