Hi,
Have all those good ol' 2" fuel flow instruments with separate sensor
been wept off the market and replaced by cruise control computers..?

Anyone knowing where to find a fuel-flow meter with sensor for gasoline
with display in European units: milliliters per minute or liters per
hour..?

Thanks for tips and comments

Hi,

Fuel flow is porportional to the Duty Cycle of the injector signal. A
volt
meter across across an injector will give you uncalibrated fuel flow,
Assuming the time delay to open is = to the closing delay and the
waveform
is square. Web search indicates typical wave form is sq. with a 70v
inductive kick. Current rise time ~1.5ms so I guess the on time is long
resulting in a positive offset. Anyone know how = the times are? The
injectors take .6A so I'd start with a 470 ohm R and a zener or LM431
to
filter battery changes. For relative calibration: connect across
battery =
100%. Good enough for my needs: check effect of tire change, syn oil, wax
job, etc..

Check http://www.robietherobot.com/storm/f...ectorguide.htm for
injector
flow rates and discussion of on/off delay..

What's an injector? Some of us don't have 'em and still want a diy fuel
metering system.

**Then you need a fuel flow sensor.
