It would be interesting to put a valve downstream from the pump and close it just a tad (perhaps measure pressure drop across the valve or perhaps across the pump) and see how a restriction affects flow.
Inquiring minds need to know :o) ... Jim S.

Hi Dave,
The only restriction was the hoses I used for the test and the flow meter. Flow
was out of the bucket about an inch from the bottom thru the test setup and back
into the top of the bucket with the hose submerged. The hose sizes are similar
to what I'm planning on using in the plane.

differently if they are pumping against resistance.

Th e tiny D-C pump outperforms the WP136.
Great report Bob! Sounds like the little plastic Davies Craig pump is the
hands down winner over the WP136 Meziere. I'm not too concerned about the
motor temp, because it's obviously made to run that hot, and still give good
service life. The best part about the test is that you did it, and my WP136
is still new in the box. Now I can send it back to Summit for a refund :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (hoping for two successful posts in a row)
