We study the following conjecture of Matt DeVos: If there is a graph homomorphism from a Cayley graph Cay(M, B) to another Cayley graph Cay(M', B') then every graph with an (M, B)-flow has an (M', B')-flow. This conjecture was originally motivated by the flow-tension duality.

We show that a natural strengthening of this conjecture does not hold in all cases but we conjecture that it still holds for an interesting subclass of them and we prove a partial result in this direction. We also show that the original conjecture implies the existence of an oriented cycle double cover with a small number of cycles.
