I did test  2 GPM gear pump 12V. Maintaining 30 psi of pressure, needed 7
Amps. If Bob can connect the engine block and the radiators inline with
Flow meter and Amp meter, we can get some realistic figures. If he can move
25 GPM through the system on 5 Amps, I will switch to EWP ASAP.
Believe me I don't want to be another Paul Lamar :)
