The ability to measure your actual fuel usage on the fly really won't matter if you don't have the fuel with you to start with. Better to assume worst case scenario and carry enough fuel to cover this on some shorter similar style trips. You will soon work out what you need to carry to cover the longer trips in similar country and conditions.
    The system I am in discussions about is not advertised on their website. It's a highly precise system with totally different style of flowmeters and controllers. My concerns stem from a conversation with the guys in Bunbury who set up these pumps. They told me the consumption on this engine can be as high as 1 lpm!! Can you now see why I might be a little focused on accurate fuel use rates! This is at WOT but still is horrendous. I will see where this lands, but spending 1k in advance on accurate information is better in my mind on a number of fronts and does allow for better planning.

    My 2015 V6 petrol Hilux can use over 99.9L/100km at WOT. Average consumption is around 10.

    1km/1L at WOT? That can't be right!

    According to the instant readout on the dash, it is.
    Also cruising on the highway it sits at around 8L/100km so it all balances out. It is not very often that you drive at WOT or for very long.

    Esp in a ZD30... tic, tic, boom
    or a 6.5... it would be one big humungus sluuuuuuuurp and then all the fuel she is gone :-)

    Seriously tho my CRD used to hit more than 60 instantaneous quite easily at low speed and full welly.
    I'm not sure I would want to know the number in my 6.5

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    The 1 LPM was for the 6.5 at WOT, but I am selecting a flowmeter with a range of 0.5 to 100lpm to cover the surge. If the flow exceeds the rated flow, it will choke the diesel feed to the engine by whatever the difference is. I can see this happening a bit especially in low range stuff. I tend to dawdle along at less than 2500rpm on the road most of the time. I have been getting pretty good economy, but its highly speculative to be honest as the type of driving changes a lot over a weekend trip, so I dont really know what I am burning thru accurately.

    12km/1L is also good. It's a diesel I guess?
    It comes with a built in flow meter gauge?
