I want to build up several gear pumps for pumping oil. I figure that
getting steering pumps from an auto junk yard will be the cheapest route.

I wonder what vehicle may have the highest flow pump. Should I just
consider that the larger the vehicle, the faster the flow rate?

Thanks

Get one from an older Chevy/GMC V8 Diesel. The pump has to run
everything, including the power brakes. There is no vacuum on the
Diesel.


That's the same pump as on the gas engines, just has an extra return
fitting.
