  • Method and apparatus for deriving fuel consumption data from a hydraulically driven fuel injector
    Patent number: 4553207
    Abstract: An injector mounted sensor, providing an electrical signal indicative of the opening and closing of a hydraulically actuated injector valve, is monitored to determine the time period for which the injector valve is opened and to determine the frequency rate at which said injector valve is opened. The time period and frequency rate are compared with a predetermined table of values to derive a fuel consumption value for each time period that the injector valve is open.
