Diesel MAF-sensor?

[Gary W Harris]

Text item: 

What about measuring the fuel flow--since the Dudsel operates at WOT, one could 
use RPM/VE to calculate airflow (similar to a EFI MAP system), throttle position
to measure fuel flow, thus get some reasonable approximation allowing 
particulate emission control.-- or perhaps fuel flow/injection timing needs to 
modulated to control particulates

Cheers.
