Hello again JonE
My quick calculations show that 5 minutes per pint (1.5 gallons per hour) would be sufficient (or a bit more than sufficient) flow rate for a 17 bhp A7 engine running flat out. It would correspond to 33 MPG at 50 MPH.
Back to condensers, I wrote a piece a few years ago called "Capacitors (Condensers), How they're made and why they fail". This gives more detail if you are interested. You can find it on the Dorset A7 club website under Technical Pages, Electrics+Ignition.
Cheers, John Cornforth
