If the boost pumps operate at a constant RPM, and the pick-up pipe is always completeley submerged in the fuel, then in theory they should always transfer the same amount of fuel regardless of the atmospheric pressure. And if thats the case, then there should be no drop in pressure sensed by the transducers which feed the boost pump gauge, regardless of altitude.

Or am I missing something?
