Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 12v fuel flow rate

[shorty2500]

does anyone know what the flowrate is through the fuel system? i'm interested in the flowrate of the lift pump.



i was previously told 100gal/min, but i've read in the 24v forum that they run around 100gal/hr. that sounds more reasonable, but i really don't know.

stock carter pump on the 24v is 100 gal/hr. not sure about the 12v. we'd need 3" pipe for 100gal/min the filter on the 24v is the limiting factor, i think it only flows like 60 gal/hr or something like that.

The filter is the limiting factor, it's rated at 27 gph.

27 gph will supply enough fuel to net 2. 2 miles per gallon at 60 mph. Even the worst truck with the heaviest load can top that.
