Subject: Consumption meter, problems...
I am talking about the idea of hooking a bicycle meter to the fuel pump
to get gas consumption.
The good news is it works.
It seems to give results that are analogue to the bikes consumption.
The bad news is that it can't be callibrated!
I made some calculations, and it seems that in order for it to work
correctly it should be callibrated for a bicycle that has a whell
circumference of about 40cm, or if it is callibrated to 400cm it would
show 10km for each liter.
But the meter I have can only be callibrated between 112 and 255cm.
So, my advice for anyone that would want to try making such a gatzet is
to stick with Possi's idea. I think it whould work better.
That's what I will do.
