don't you just disconnect the outlet and run them continuous into seperate empty vessels, time them for a minute and see how much is in there??

not sure how easy this is on an escos though?? are they in-tank like standard??

228 Ltrs/Hr works out at 3.8 ltrs/min yes?

so just run into a container and measure after 1 min

sounds logical to me just remember you need to put a fuel pressure regular in there to set it at 5 bar
