Hey Chesh,
Where did you find that? Haven't seen one of those at all. Can you drop me some scans of the instructions? I'm gueesing that apart from the pixie theory which sounds a bit like Pratchett, it would probably take inputs from the speedo (perhaps connector E) to determine distance, the fuel guage or perhaps the ECU (in or out?) to determine fuel used, a ground and a power supply?
I could be seriously tempted if you felt the need to pass it on.
Cheers

There are various pictures posted around the site - the installation guide is posted in the 'installation guides' thread, and Chesh keeps threatening to post the instruction manual...but he hasn't yet.
OK.
I try to find something about how works sensor in the fuel line. I have Volvo Diesel (;( - it's doesn't demon for speed ... he he ) and i'm interested in measure fuel ....
Maybe somebady come up against something about that in web?

high pressure is behind injection pump but before it's not so higt. The fuel is supply and excess come back to the fuel tank. It's a easy method to measure that ... ?? Have you any suggestion ?
This unit can accept the timing signal from an injector (that's how it works with the petrol injection engines)....but Diesels have mechanical injectors, so that wouldn't work. I think you're probably stuck, I'm afraid. The turbine system only works when you don't have a return system, as you only want to measure the fuel used, not that pumped (most will just cycle through the system).
However....if you used two turbines - one send, one return, then calculated the flow differential between them...hmm...!
) and i'm interested in measure fuel ....
