 |
|
As there has been discussion on the pulse pump I thought I would share this info...Mike Stratman states in the CPS California Power Systems Catalog that a vertical rise of no more than 39" can be accepted out of any pulse pump. Anything higher and count on deliver problems. Another thing to remember is that the pulse pump is always limlted to the pressures or pumping value of the crankcase. Also keep in mind that the fuel pressure available will fall off as the crank seals and gaskets begin to leak over time.
Hope you find this info helpful. jswan

That is very good information Jim,
This is exactly what I was talking about, the pulse pump is very limited, prone to failure, and I would not trust it alone to keep my plane in the air. Having the Facet pump is cheap, easy to do, and increases safety by a huge amount.
