large beer.
This is exactly what i was searching for, youre a genious.

So what i need is a schematic that i can make a digital or analog
read out of the impulses from the flow sensor. And it would be nice if
it was not
Dependent on a notebook.



How about a cheap pulse counter?

Any simple analog tachometer circuit could easily be recalibrated to be
used to count these pulses:

This NE555 common timer IC schematic would be ideal!

You didn't say how big the pulses are coming from the device. This
circuit
converts any bigger-than-5V pulses to 5V with the zener on pin 2, If your
pulses are smaller, simply add a transistor amp to make them bigger on the
input where the points go. Take the scale out of the meter movement,
paint
it white and make a new scale in litres/hour with your boat's maximum fuel
consumption about 90% of the scale. The 50K resistor and .1uF cap over
the
meter sets the timing. Fool with those values to make it read your slower
pulses. You might want to add a big electrolytic cap right across the
meter if the meter pulses in so slow an application, smoothing it out.
The
theory is on the page.
