What kind of flow meters do I have

No kind. I have been searching in the net and the best (for me) are dual chamber differential flow meters. Problem is they are expensive, and installation will never be as good as it should, with proper tools or robots in a Factory. Result: you need to cut the fuel pipes and insert the fuel flow meters.

The majority of these fuel meters have a small (and very delicate) turbine inside that generates a pulse every volumen of fuel. These turbines may probably stuck with the dirt of the fuel, despite filters.

Ultrasonic non invasive or such meters are the ideal.

My Skoda car has a Factory meter which has never fail, as well as many Peugeot and such cars. Sure these are not turbines and are Factory installed, fully sealed.
