I have a need to get fuel consumption feed back on my bike. But without a fuel pump to keep the marble moving I might have to look elsewhere.

Hmm, fuel pump..., what about replacing the fuel pump with a 12v positive displacement pump and small accumulator that shuts off at a couple psi? Then keep track of the revolutions the pump turns and the distance traveled?
