Should be no more than 7 PSI, but most likely will be around 4 or 5 PSI. Of course with a mechanical pump, it will vary somewhat based on RPM, but never reaching anything that needs much of a fitting. I've seen many with rubber hose and a hose clamp with no problems.

Yeah, I'm running a Carter fuel pump that sits at 6 PSI, pretty much all the time, WOT or idle and I've not had a problem what so ever. And I figured it would be much more as well being that the IP makes 2000 PSI or so. I've worked on a few of those high pressure jobs as well, makes me cringe to think of unhooking one!
