      Accepted practice is a flow rate one point five times the maximum engine requirement in the worst possible flight configuration, generally nose high climb. You can't have too much fuel flow capacity unless you are over powering your carb. Another rule of thumb that works well on our type of

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 gp
