I want to have a fairly fast and accurate measurement of the fuel used. Say run the machine for 5-15 minutes and measure the fuel used during that time. So just measuring the amount of fuel placed in the tank won't work.
I am trying to measure fuel consumed by a Bobcat mini excavator with 60 hp Kubota diesel. I just need to have an accurate total of gallons used. I'm assuming I will have to put a flow meter on the fuel line as well as on the return line.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
