reminds me a little bit of the old style gas pump, where they pump how much you want up in the glass cylinder on top to measure it, and then let it drain down into your tank. don't see why it wouldn't work, gets around the low flow problems, and some of the sloshing problems.

i was sort of kidding when i said we could count the drops like an IV dripper, but the way you got those photo sensors mounted it would count the drops, just like my planter counts every seed it plants with an infrared sensor and IR light. might have to put a little dye in the fuel to make it show up better.

on those bicycle computers, do they just have a reed switch inside or a mag. pickup? because a reed sw might be vibration sensitive.

dcb, how did you draw that?
