They were pretty poor like 80.
If that's G.P.H.? I think your being awfully kind there Randy; or is that with the 18 volt battery system?
I think they were probably rated more likely around 50 to 55 G.P.H. (and I'm not sure whether that was "free-flow" (probably
) or at pressure, and if so at what pressure, as it was an adjustable pressure unit?); and this equates to something in excess of 300 lbs. per hour of fuel, which at the old stand-by value of one half pound fuel per hour per horsepower would indicate the pump was tapped-out at anything approaching 600 H.P. or more; and this would have been in the best of installations I'm sure.
As I remember (in the "old-days"
), in the real world, the practice was that one pump was sufficient perhaps to 400 H.P. +/- applications but after that you went with a dual pump installation, again, in reasonable executions of installations, which still would prove to compromise the claimed performance obviously available under only "ideal" conditions.
