Rage vs. Waterman (1 Viewer)

[flapjack]

Anybody have a rough estimate of who is using Rage pumps and who is using Waterman pumps? I only know of Wilkerson using Rage. I am sure there are others.

Also, can anyone tell me how much a difference the cast iron pump housing on a Rage pump makes? My understanding is that aluminum is more prone to distortion as it heats. On a Waterman pump, this would cause fuel to leak by the gerotor, decreasing pump efficiency. So... does a Rage pump flow consistently as it heats up? Does a Waterman pump flow inconsistently as it heats up?

the enderle 1100 pumps are really popular on the nostalgia circuit because they flow right about 20-21 gallons, which is what the rules call for

Well shoot, I effed up. The Rage and Waterman pumps use spur gears and Settles' Nuke pump is a gerotor gears.

Correct, Settles are gerotor...and rarely need servicing.

...Waterman pumps use spur gears....

Waterman's also have a cast steel body , they don't change pressure , that's the advantage of the spur gears being supported on each end.
I tested all my Waterman's to 5000 rpm pump speed...
