[s-cars] Bosch Motorsport 044 Fuel Pump

[Phil Mische]

It's good to open this topic up again, since I've got an 044 (and a lot of 
other bits which kinda fit it) which one day my kids will probably install 
in my car to honor me post-mortem (I'm not planning on dying soon, but I'm 
sure not making a lot of progress finishing my car...).

In the hopes of finding a way to better understanding the way those various 
bits jump together I did a little googling & found some helpful 044 info, 
including fuel flow & current draw:

Always nice when someone does experiments.  As to whether the data can be 
trusted, that's left to the beholder.
