Fuel return flow

[Crumm]

Approximately how much fuel is returned to the tank per minute?

 

[dpantazis]

something like 50-60 gpm.

the guy who did the tank mod and research had a setup where he measured it as well at to see the bubbles in the stream. he had pics on webshots.

i can not remember his name right now. someone may post it up.

50-60 gpm or gph? 50 gallons a minute is a bunch of fuel..

something like 50-60 gpm.

I'm not sure if its that high for the first gen, the SD's are elect fuel pump while the first gens are mechanical.

Hutchinaugusta. But that's on a SD.


Not sure what it is on the OBS.

50 gpm ????? The high flow pump at the truckstop won't flow that much.

Must be 50 gph.

 

[dpantazis]

yes, its 50-60 gpH. my bad.

it was hutchinagusta that i recall giving a number like that. something like a little over a minute to fill a gallon jug. and i think it WAS for SDD, not OBS. my bad again.

hutch- you in here? is the 'data' somewhere?

yeah its gotta be GPH not GPM cause the fuel truck I use to drive would pump 60 GPM but that was thru a 2" hose at about 60 PSI

Do the 94-97 OBS trucks have mechanical fuel pumps??
