    Calculate the predicted max flow rate to help determine size.

      If I were building a fuel system rated at 1200hp, I'd want to be relying on something a bit more scientific that peoples 'opinion' in a poll!!

      As Will suggested, I'd be doing some sums

        Work it out. Double it. Simples. I'd be surprised if -8 wasn't large enough though
