It is, because this is what could be flowing through the sensor at that
moment.

If I understand it correct, the amount of fuel flowing through the
sensor is depending on the fuel pump, not the actual consumption of the
engine.

Ah, and what did you see then? Of course this button did not change the
amount of fuel flowing, but the value you were seeing when pressing the
button would probably be a lot more than the acutal consumption of the
engine, right?
