This is quoted from an associate on an email tech list I am on....
"I had Kinsler run some bench flow tests on a brand new OEM fuel pump this week. I asked them to make separate runs at 9, 12, 14, 16, and 18 VDC, logging the fuel flow and current draw from 40-100 psi in 10 psi increments.
The results were really surprising. You would think that doubling the voltage from 9 to 18v probably wouldn't double the flow, and you'd be right... the flow didn't double, it more than TRIPLED, while the current only doubled.
At 18V, our little OEM pump can flow 570 lbs/hr at 75 psi while consuming only 22.2 amps. Hmmm, that's enough fuel to do 900 BHP at 30 psi boost.."
this qouted from another guy on the list...
"Yes, I was running 18v all the time. I agree that it wasn't the brightest thing to do. I only had it that way for about 8 months, then switched to a Walbro."
That means the pump can atleast sustain 18volt over 8 months and pump a schnazz load of fuel.... :o
