Fuel consumption and flow rate

[andrew honychurch]

Guys, I have opted to fit an electric fuel pump on the T16 as the NOS fuel pump diaphrams will not stand up to the ethanol in the fuel.

I have fitted a an electric pump I had off a Range Rover 3500cc V8, however whilst I can get the correct pressure through my regulator, about 3.5 psi, it does seem to be a little short of fuel.

Question is therefore, does anyone know what Gallons/hour the Mercury 100hp engine will use? I guess in simple terms if the T16 does 4 mpg, and the Range Rover does 16 mpg, maybe it is not man enough for the job. Thoughts gratefully received. thanks Andrew
