Hi Rusty, I have hard time believing these Amp draw figures? I sell gear pumps on my web site and have tested them on our bench. Even the 3 gpm pump uses about 5A minimum without load. Our 6 GPM pump is rated 15A  12V. Somehow you are getting free lunch :)

 
Seems it was just one of those Canadian practical jokes.  Probably a few too many mooseheads when he first measured it :-)  I'm glad Todd spoke up, because those numbers did seem kinda low.  I didn't measure mine today, but it's on a note, prominently stuck to my vise with a magnet, so I'll probably do it tomorrow.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (cowl cheek extensions drilled and clecoed in place)
