[Vwdiesel] Fuel Flow Guage

[Dave Cook]

 Interesting, i was looking at fuel flow gauges the other day, but for my boat.

I have discovered that my engine in the boat is small enough and tank 
large enough that a full vs empty tank makes a difference in the boat's 
performance.  I was hoping to figure out a way to see exactly how much 
gas was used without filling it and then topping it off after use.  
(Believe it or not, I can take kids out on the boat tubing or whatever, 
and have work pay for the gas used-I sure have a terrible job!  ha ha.)  


But the fuel flow sensors I found were well over 100 bucks, and closer to 200.  I'll figure out something else, I guess...

  I have a couple Compucruise's that I want to make work on the diesles.  Similar dilemma.  I've come up with two solutions.  Either loop the fuel under the hood and just measure what goes into the loop (return just goes back to a point in front of the sensor rather than back to the tank). or I use two, identical sensors, in my case the ones from a Compucruise, and  have an EE friend build a subtractor circuit of some kind, that reads the first sensor, subtracts what it reads from the second and then sends a signal of the difference, to the unit.

  We're on the dry side of the State and we've had a quarter inch in the last 24hrs.  :-P

I'd like to make a fuel flow gauge for my 180 VW Rabbit, has anyone seen a good 
ensor for this or a complete gauge? I realize I need 2 sensors 1 for fuel into 
he injection pump and 1 for fuel out of the injection pump.
