Luis, I just checked my records, and I used 8 gph as the minimum requirement for my Revmaster 2100D. I can' t quite recall where 8 came from specifically. But 3.5 gph is the economy fuel flow - not what you need on a full power climb out after a botched landing.
When testing this, I got 12 gph in the level config, and 8.5 gph in the nose high config. I used 3/8" fuel lines, gravity fed.

If I use the default of .55 in the formula, I get a fuel flow rate of 6.8 GPH which I know is excessive. From reading some of your pilot reports, I am suspecting a fuel flow rate of about 3.5 GPH. I would appreciate some feedback on those familiar with the Revmaster 2100D.
