ABSTRACT:
A meter capable of accurately measuring volume or weight of fuel consumed by an engine per unit time. The meter includes a piston driven in reciprocating movement by fluid being pumped therethrough by the engine fuel pump. The reciprocating motion is converted to rotative motion by a barrel cam the output of which drives a tachometer-like instrument calibrated to show volume or weight of fuel used per unit of time. A lever operated bypass valve is associated with the meter to bypass the latter if desired. The meter is adjustable to compensate for expansion or contraction of the fluid or for different types of fuel. It is also within the concept of the invention to combine the rate meter hereof with other recording mechanism for making a permanent record of fuel usage. Furthermore, the meter may be combined with other treating means such as temperature control means and bubble removing means.
