Is there a mechanical pump available that can be driven with

One can be made if you don't mind over oiling at less than WOT.
I made a pump from pinion stock bought from Boston Gear and used
a mill to machine the housing.
Here is a drawing of the body. You could control the oil flow by
changing the gear or cog belt drive between the e-shaft and the pump.
I have some more info on this around somewhere I need to look up.
I also have some photos I think.

Sorry. Brain fade! This pump is not for fuel but it could be scaled up for
fuel I guess. It is for apex seal oil.
