That means a lot of by-pass. I think the other Carter pumps with 72 gallon/h rate (325 ltr/h?) would still provide more then the 044, but not have as much by-pass.
Too much pump in general would not be a problem however

Tnx.
That was my thought about too much is OK. After having fuel supply issues in another car, and not having baffles in my tank I thought I'd just put something in that even if the pick-up gets uncovered momentarily there is NO WAY my high pressure pump will lose supply. My hi-pres is a WALBRO but will be a 044 sooner than later. (walbro is LOUD).
