   Diesel flow meters  evaluated  
In contrast to electric stock, in diesel stock no complicated debiting is necessary since the energy source is on-board. Nevertheless, a diesel flow meter indicating the actual fuel consumption in real time can provide relevant information for energy efficient driving styles and for energy efficiency projects in general.
