What I have on my diesel rabbit now is an old Zemco mileage computer. The Zemco flow meter has been restored with a 6mm plastic BB and a red LED light source. And because the diesel sends more fuel back to the tank than it uses, i return the fuel to a very small intermediate tank. i have fuel diagram similar to post 61 bottom diagram. Also see post 84 and 73.

For a diesels that return to the tank, I would think that dcb's computer and two less expensive flow meters would be an easier than what I did, because my system has two solenoid pumps to transfer the fuel to and from the fuel bowl. see post 138
