What do you mean "total loss"? I can see the electric drive would save some
HP. Do you have any numbers on the HP gain, HP required to drive pump or net
gain, either engine driven or electric.

hurry, if you hit a "bad luck" day!

The question ought tobe how much more reliable will it make my engine.. the
answer an order of magnitude at least. The other question i would have is
how
hard do you spin it. The higher the rpm the more you need one, same goes for
hp
ratings as well.
