Semi-fixed my banjo bolt by tapping the banjo and screwing in a 1/8 NPT brass pipe nipple.

Ran the test.

At idle it was 55s for 1L, ~2min for 2L.

With my wife trying to hold it at 1500-2000 rpm, it was 1L in about 51s, 2L just about 2mins.



Wasn’t going to sit in my driveway slamming my engine at 3000+ rpm to test further. But this link says the pumps for Cummins trucks are rated at 52.8GPH for a 5.9 L engine notionally heavier loaded for longer durations.

They tested 0.59GPM peak flow on the Cummins lift pump.



So I think 1LPM is probably fair based upon their testing and mine indicating that flow is roughly independent of RPM.
