Is there any reason to consider adding an electric fuel pump to a 701?
With high wing tanks, and the on board mechanical pump on the Jabiru 2200A, it would seem to be unnecessary.
Your comments and suggestion appreciated.

George, I dont have any pump on mine. Because the 2200 has the carb down low there is enough head for the specified 0.75 psi ? requirement and I did fuel flow checks including tail down measured flow into the carb float chamber was all above requirements.
This meant I could remove the engine pump and eliminate another source of trouble.
A rotax would be different because the carbs are up high
