..So no one can point me in the right direction?

Well I'm really looking to get a real-time rate of combustion in mL, is there some sort of pulse sensor or some other non-invasive sensor other than optical (too expensive)?

I looked into venturi meters, and they seem like a viable possibility-- but where do I get a nice little digital one? insane_alien: My car does have electronic fuel injection, but it is from 1987-- ODBI was not very standardized and I don't have any clue on how to get that sort of data from the system (if it was even put over the same bus).

Hi, I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to ask project questions, but here goes.. =) In the future, I would like to make a fuel sensor/metering system for my car that would monitor the flow along the fuel line and give me a reading in real-time of how many mL of fluid are being consumed. I've decided to put off setting myself and my property ablaze for the time being, and would like to attempt this on a simple fountain first. I've searched the web, and haven't found any small digital flow sensors that can be attached to a tube and output the data in any usable manner. Where can I look? Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Any help would be much appreciated.
