DieselJohn had mentioned piezos on injectors before also, kind of an electronic mechanics stethoscope. I don't know enough about mechanical pumps to know for sure. The duration if the injection is only half the equation, the flow rate is the other half.

So what effect does the throttle have on the pump? How about RPM? Does throttle affect the duration and rpm affects the flow rate? You could conceivably compute both with a piezo on an injector if so. I don't know about wrapped around the fuel line.
