I estimate that the rate at idle is approx. .4 gallons per hour.

The rate at maximum power is approx. 8 gallons per hour.

Please use these as approximations because I have not done an actual measurement.

Can't be much, its not that big of an engine.


If you are asking because you want to install an aftermarket filter for WVO use, well any Racor or similer should be enough.

psychic?

HatterasGuy,
You must be psychic. Actually I am running Bio and want to put a secondary filter/water remover in line to make sure no water gets to the IP. So I did not know if I would need a boost pump or not to move the the bio through the 2nd filter.
Thanks
A

Its a commen question. Not sure if you would need to help the delivery pump, another filter shouldn't add to much backpressure.

Go with a heated Racor 500FG with the 5micron (500SM) element, can have a water-in-filter light too. Racor also makes a vacuum/pressure gauge for the setup.
