Thumbs up Only one flow meter?

Wagonman,

Interesting. Can you explain how you need only one flowmeter if you install a pressure regulator?

Besides diminishing error, you cut cost to half, on flow sensors.

I listen. Try to make a diagram if necessary....

Tks.

Another: What is positive displacement pump?

I am not familiar much with diesels. But with most cars, you could install a separate pressure regulator and abandon the original. Then you could install the flowmeter between the regulator and engine, hence requiring only one flowmeter and halving your margin of error.
