Flow sensor integration with the Car electronics system

I need to integrate a Fuel flow sensor mentioned here to the car dashboard system, so as to display the flow readings on the dashboard screen and/or to a seperate display screen when fuel passes through the sensor .

I'm specifically using this device which has a Working Voltage: DC 5V~18V.

Please suggest to explain what options are available & how this can be done electronically with the different car systems models?

On some 'return flow' injection systems, you may need a second sensor so as you can subtract the return flow in order to get the actual fuel being used by the engine.

This device is to address short-fueling.(Yes, short-fuelling is a problem in many countries).
Not connecting with fuel pipe but fit around the tank's fuel cap so that when the vehicle is refueled, it notifies the actual volume filled in the vehicle.

Well, that's probably not an ideal sensor for this application. They're often no more accurate than +/- 10% depending on the flow rate.
