Default Re: Fuel pump requirements

Yep---he needs a pump that can pump about 50 GPH so any pump that satisfies a 520 HP engines demands should work --- no need for a 500 GPH pump its overkill and might lead to other problems such as fuel blowing past the needle and seat do to over pressurization--- I think he was originally referring to a Holley carb not a Q-jet but I could be wrong--- he must remember thats it's the volume of fuel the pump has to provide pressure is a secondary factor --- pump location as well as fuel line size and number of restrictions in the line ( ie.fittings-filters-regulators-number of bends etc) is going to affect the volume of fuel that ultimately arrives at the carb

Trying to post chart again
Horsepower Requires Fuel
(flow estimates for use of gasoline)
Gasoline has a heating value of approximately 19,900 Btu/lb

Hp Fuel Required
300Hp 150 lbs/hr 0.400 gal/min
400Hp 200 lbs/hr 0.533 gal/min
500Hp 250 lbs/hr 0.666 gal/min
600Hp 300 lbs/hr 0.799 gal/min
700Hp 350 lbs/hr 0.933 gal/min
800Hp 400 lbs/hr 1.066 gal/min
900Hp 450 lbs/hr 1.200 gal/min
1000Hp 500 lbs/hr 1.330 gal/min
1100Hp 550 lbs/hr 1.464 gal/min
1200Hp 600 lbs/hr 1.598 gal/min
1300Hp 650 lbs/hr 1.732 gal/min
1400Hp 700 lbs/hr 1.866 gal/min
1500Hp 750 lbs/hr 2.000 gal/min
*based on gasoline with SG 0.750, weighing 6.255 lbs/gal and a BSFC of 0.5lbs/hp-hr.
BSFC is brake specific fuel consumption in pounds of fuel per horsepower-hour.
