There's a few but they cost hundreds (google "diesel timing light" or "diesel pressure transducer"), but I think someone with a diesel and a scope and a couple bucks for some radio shack piezos should see what they can come up with (note, the piezos can be wired to cancel out noise). Maybe take two, and take them apart and cut them down to a strip (with the leads intact) and clamp them on opposite sides of the fuel line with a hose clamp (and a bit of hard plastic) and see what kind of signals you get.
