Fuel flow meter?

I'm looking for suggestions for a diesel flow meter that will tell me how much I'm using. I've found one for gasoline but not for diesel. My chart plotter apparently will show me what's going on as long as I hook it up to the NMEA2000 line. I know about "TankTender"that tells how much is in the tank but I want to know how much I'm using on an hour by hour basis as I run my engine.
Any suggestions?

Re: Fuel flow meter?

Two manufacturers readily come to mind:

Maretron- They make units that will talk directly to your NMEA 2000 data bus and display on a MFD.

Flow Scan- They make units that offer a stand alone display and can also communicate with your data bus.

Check them out....and I'm sure there are others.

Re: Fuel flow meter?

You could also simply calculate your fuel consumption based on a few refills. I've been doing that for 18 years. No fuel gauge or flow meter.
