There are no prices though, maybe somebody can contact them (i dont actually need flow meters)? 6800pulses/liter makes instant reading easier when counting pulses.
3.0 LPM can be a bit low for big diesel. I think it's best to do the bucket test on a return line and see how much fuel can run trough the system at various engine speeds. Then we can talk about getting the best flow meter for a given engine.

Anyway - for instant reading, we can use time between pulses, for cumulative reading we can count pulses.
That makes sense. Good idea.
