interesting gear type sensor.
it is not a screw connection and the body is made of plastic.
I would want to know a the working pressure.
it looks like the end is thing plastic with and o-ring.

This one may not be perfect, but a flow sensor is the way to measure one of the main parameters.

back in the 70's bell-bottoms were all the Rage, the Beatles were still loved and one could get an after market economy computer that would tell MPG and distance to empty. I would look to see if any of those are still around.

while a lot more expensive:
