A cheaper approach?

Diesel John,

I overlooked this comment. You wrote:

"For a diesels that return to the tank, I would think that a TPS on the fuel regulating shaft, a tach pickup on the injection pump, and dcb's computer would be an easier path, and a less expensive path to follow than what I did."

I have a Throttle position sensor for my Nissan RD28 engine. Have a tach signal of it as well, which I converted to drive my tachometer.
What is DCB´s computer? What about the speed ?

Have any further ideas on this approach?

Thank you for sharing.

And because the diesel sends more fuel back to the tank than it uses, i have fuel diagram similar to post 61 bottom diagram. Also see post 84 and 73.
