Abstract
Device for measuring the consumption of fuel in an internal combustion engine, the device being inserted in a feed system between a fuel tank and an injection group, wherein the device includes a cup provided with a lever sensor which controls the actuation of a suction pump communicating with the fuel tank and wherein the cup, fed by a pipe coming from the suction pump and by a return pipe coming from the injection group, is connected with the injection group by a delivery pipe, and the suction pump, being controlled by the level sensor, supplying the consumption data to a counter/totalizer device.
