I am doing doing an Embedded Design course.Here i get "Advanced fuel
flow mesurement system using microcontroller" as a project topic.But i
dont know much about the topic.How to measure the fuel.
Anybody who did/doing some work on it please help me out of this
problem.
I need the guidence to start it.If anybody guide me i will be grateful
to him.


You go and get yourself a fuel flow meter, hook its output up to a
microcontroller discrete logic input, and count the pulses over time. The
fuel flow meter documentation will tell you how many pulses equals how much
fuel, look at the K factor. The pulses are created by a little wheel
turning in the flow stream.

JPI (www.jpinstruments.com) sells fuel flow meters, and you should look at
their online JPI-700 or 800 user's guide for how to calibrate the K factor
of the fuel flow. Also check the catalogs like Aircraft Spruce and Chief
for flow meters.
