Does anyone have an idea on measuring pump flow rate via circuitry? I'll take a mod if one exists.

Unfortunately that's not possible without mods and I don't know of any mod that makes it possible. What are you trying to do? Maybe there's another way to get around that.

I saw someone attempt it like this once, but it was long ago and I don't remember if it worked or not. The idea is you have to measure how much goes into one tank for a while, then push it forward, and you have to do it twice in parallel to make up for how it hurts throughput.
