The AUA25 SU fuel pump was rated by The SU Carburettor Company as having a maximum suction lift of 42 inches from bottom of tank to pump and a minimum output of 8 gallons per hour. I hope this may be of some help.

Suggest you look at:

Burlen manufacture all SU pumps & carb parts. They now make a new solid state fuel pump using the original outer parts, thus you have a "modern" pump without originality suffering.

Pressure at the carbs is about 1 1/2 lbs/sq.in. Most aftermarket pumps provide much more than this and would need a pressure regulator or severe flooding will result. There are a few that have an output this low.
