Can you do some sleuthing on the belt drive?

Use the table in the above link, do some measurements and you should be able to get a rough idea of how much energy / hp is being expended to drive the pump as per the chart: "Initial selection of Timing Belt ".
The pump using a timing belt is a good indication that it takes quite a bit of ommph to move fuel.
That will feed into a guess as to how much energy / heat is being dissipated into the fuel / engine area just from pumping the fuel.
