Fuel Pump Test

We've tested a fuel pump today and it flowed 1 us gallon in 1 minute at 12,4 volts.

I should of tested it at 13.5v so I'll try again when I get 5 mins.

I've looked at the aeromotive site to try and work out how much the stock mini fuel pump should be good for but I'm not 100% sure how to work it out as they rate them differently for different boost etc. etc.

Anyone got a clue???

I tested it as I have Barry Grant pumps iin the past mainly for carbs. I would presume that Grant and Aeromotive test them freeflow and rate them accordingly.

How would you test them under load Jim? I thought that they wouldn't be under load because they are not dead headed and return most of the fuel to the tank.

The only other thing what would concern me is the inside diameter of the petrol pipe .175 inch

I'm used to -10 fuel lines
