Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:38 am Post subject: Fuel Flow when running your Fuel Pump

I just hooked up my fuel flow meter and the reading seems very high. I 

thought I was carefull enough to pick the right pump so that I don't float 

the carbs. Can someone tell me what fuel flow to expect when I am running my 

fuel pump?

Thanks,

David

Nevermind I think I got it. Let me explain. First it's a plane being built.

I thought it was a good idea to take the fuel line that goes to the engine 

put a new filter on it and run it back into the tank. Then I can use the 

fuel pump to pump a couple of gallons while I checked the EIS display, 

measured the fuel and pumped all the junk out of the aluminum fuel lines 

that may of gotten there durring construction. When the fuel flow meter read 

20 gallons per hour and the measurement came up to that screwed me up.



Once I run the fuel line through the engine the carbs will meter the fuel 

flow to a normal level.
