Here are two pictures for a max fuel flow test to determine if the fuel 
system can deliver at least 150% fuel flow to the engine during worst case 
conditions of 14 degrees angle of attack, full throttle and minimum fuel in 
the operating tank.  My FAA inspector mandated criteria is to bleed off 50% 
more fuel than the engine is burning and still maintain full throttle RPM. 
And yes, N6242 supplied 350%.
Question: Has any or everyone else did or had to do this max flow test?

First picture is testing the Facet electric pump alone.  Second picture is 
to test engine driven mechanical pump alone.
