Am I missing something NewsW? It's not going to take much oomph to move 2.5 gals of fuel per hour even if it is at 29000 psi. Less than 1 HP anyway.
A motor capable of making 240 HP is going to suck down more that 2.5 gallons per hour, just in pressurizing fuel and sending it back/bleeding it off to the fuel tank hot. Same for one capable of 400 HP like the Ford 6.7.
You have to understand the association with both GPH and PSI/BAR
Maybe you would understand a ICE with 7.5:1 compression ratio vs one
with 20:1 compression ratio, both with the same displacement
