question re fluid pressures and flow rates...

hello all,
I'm trying to figure out some approximate numbers, for an alternative fuel prototype. I want to use engine oil to heat my fuel. In order to engineer a heat-transfer system, I need to know the rate of flow for engine oil (I can figure out flow rate for fuel, based on mpg) and the psi of both fuel and engine oil in the lines.
Could somebody give me a ballpark number on the following?
- psi in fuel line *up to* injector?
- psi in engine oil line, downstream of oil pump?
- flow rate of engine oil?

Thank you!
Erik
