Default RE: estimating fuel time?

I always use geared manual pumps as in the picture. Normal pattern is to count the cranks going in and simply counting the cranks going out after a flight. It soon gives you an indicator to your real fuel consumption and just how long you can fly.

I don,t use timers, the timer in my head does pretty darn good and its easy to figure your duration counting cranks.
