Abstract

A fuel flow rate measuring system including an inlet (30) for receipt of liquid fuel, a flow meter (34) connected to the inlet for measuring and indicating fuel flow, and an outlet (44) for connection to a fuel consuming apparatus. A fuel flow recirculating line (42) is connected to the system between the flow meter and the outlet (44) and defines, with the outlet, a closed, constant volume fuel flow path. A gas vent (46) is disposed in the path for venting gas therein while containing liquid fuel in the path. Also disclosed is a method of measuring the fuel flow rate to a fuel consuming apparatus.
