Howard,
Facet fuel pump required is the 40106 which delivers between 4 and 7 psi
depending on high flow or low flow, that is no restriction, high
restriction.
You should be seeing about 7 psi. Use a fuel pressure guage to assure
the sender is working properly.
Aircraft Spruce has them in stock: PN 40106 12 volt 4-7 Psi, 32gph and
will lift fuel at least 12 inches. Price about $37US.

Bud Yerly

<howardbrooksster@gmail.com<mailto:howardbrooksster@gmail.com>>
My Classic Monowheel 1st flew in 1996, and I'm wondering if the facet
electric fule pump is now starting to show its age.
I have a fuel pressure guage that measures at the carb inlets and
always test the electric pump before starting the engine. I don't
remember the units here and now, but I get only a 20% deflection
relative to the pressure I get from the mechanical pump (engine
running). But then I guess that the stationary mechanical pump will
restrict the fuel pressure with the engine stationary?
Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else has a fuel pressure guage
similarly fitted and can advise on what pressure they see from the facet
only?
Thanks
Howard
