Roland,
I will be very interested in your efforts to provide a backup power supply for
the electric pump(s). The product looks quite interesting. Please keep us
posed
as to how it works and how well it works.

There's a new product from Silent Hektik for a battery independent supply of
electric power for the fuel pumps https://www.silent-hektik.de/UL_914_Pumpe.htm
of the Rotax 914.
I'm planning to install that (weights only 200 grammes) to overcome the problem,
that you lose the engine in the event of a battery or regulator failure. Also
I have a LiFePo battery installed, which is great for cranking the starter but
I'm not so sure, how long the electric fuel pump will run with it.
It's just a very clever backup I think.
