Flow sensor integration with the Car electronics system

boodle

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?

    A flow sensor capable of giving accurate measurements of the amounf of fuel pumped into a motor vehicle during re-fueling would have to be the same bore as the existing fuel filler and installed properly in line with it. This would have to meet stringent regulatory requirements for safetey (especially in petrol powered vehicles). seperate approval would be needed for every vehicle type.

    I don't know of an off the shelf flow sensor that would work as the core of the design.

    I can't see the cost being less than a few hundred pounds/dollars per vehicle even if the product were made in reasonable numbers.
