thats a dificult one. what size engine hp a rough guide without knowing is make a temp jet up 3mm bore. if it holds at 90psi its probs between 14 and 28 cfm . using a 6mm bore jet if it holds at 90 psi its probs between 60 and 90 cfm . my 90cfm pump has a 20hp 3 cylinder perkins on it . its not exactly a scientific way but will give u a cheap quick clue 
Doing a quick few cigarette packet calcs - I'd say this might help:
20 seconds 300l
CFM Bar PSI
31.8 1 14.5
63.6 2 29
95.3 3 43.5
127.1 4 58
158.9 5 72.5
190.7 6 87
222.5 7 101.5
254.3 8 116
286.0 9 130.5
317.8 10 145
349.6 11 159.5
Formatting isn't great - be careful o the middle column that seems to merge toward the bottom - it was a quick cut and paste.
Hope this helps, I'd guess it's a 50-60 hp diesel engine??
