Default Anyone know of a cheap clip on flow meter for domestic heating oil?

There's a white plastic pipe between the oil tank and the boiler. I
want to clip on a flow meter to measure the oil actually being
consumed at any one moment. Is there such a device?

Oil boiler jets are calibrated with their consumption. So if the jet is new
and the pump is set to the calibrated pressure, it should squirt out the
right amount of oil. e.g 0.6 US gallons per hour. If your not using the
pressure at which the nozzle is calibrated you can use tables to make an
adjustment.
