How much fuel flow needed?

I am looking at a couple of different electric lift pumps. One has 150 gph and one has 250 gph. Is the 150 gph suffecient? It has a constant 12 psi.

If it's a pump with normal diesel volumes, a 150GPH is more than anyone will likely ever need. With that said, if you are making 1000 HP, things change....

I recommend 100GPH at 500HP or less. 500+ go the 150GPH.
Again, JMO.
