Gals per/hr vs Lbs per/hr

[Larry]

Im looking at external fuel pumps. Reds double pumper is tested in Gallons per/hr- Weldon and aeromotive list there's in Lbs per/hr. How do you convert to compare the two? Thanks Larry

Yup.One gallon weighs around 6#'s depending on type[pump or race].

Water at 8.3#/gallon and the sp gr of fuel ranging from .77 to .71.
The calcs show a range from 6.39#/gallon to 5.89#/gallon.
Pick one you run in your engine.......
FWIW, I use .77 on the flow fluid in the injector bench. If the customer states otherwise, I use his sp gr numbers in the calcs.
