Roughly, what would be the litre per hour of a diesel cars fuel pump?
Just looking for one to pump oil and wondered if one might fit the bill.
Can I also safely assume that they all are continuous rotary pumps, just needing a continuous 12v across them, rather than any being a solenoid type pump?
Would it also be safe to assume that they can also self prime?
Only vaguely relevant data I could find was this:
There are plenty of portable 12v pumps for diesel or heating oil available from around 60UKP; they have rates of around 50 litres/minute.
Yes to both with my admittedly limited experience.

Thanks, that answers what I wanted to know.
I have just been advised that my HP pump delivers up to 240 litres per hour, so it under bonnet pump must deliver more than that. 6 minutes for 5 gallons would be perfect.
