Voltage DC to the fuel pump

Does anyone know that the voltage to the fuel pump is?
Thanks

I'm guessing 12. I'm not too familiar with the subject, but I'd see no reason why there'd be a resistor dropping the current down (especially on an electric motor). It also makes sense to have a full 12 because I don't think anything less would power the motor up to 40ish psi. Like I said, just a guess, but logic says 12. Maybe someone will have a definite answer via a schematic, or tonite I'll try to climb under mine and measure myself.

On a two pipe system the feed is full 13+ volts thru a relay. The pump can produce pressures over 100 psi . The fuel regulator drops the pressure to the injector fuel rail to 39psi +/-.
On a single pipe system the feed is varied using a pressure tranducer and control circuit.
