I came across a site where they developed a fuel pump for the Rotax engines.
No big news probably for the 912 owners, but interesting for the 914
owers, as this is a mechanically driven pump intended to fully replace
one of the electrical fuel pumps! So, if you want your engine completely
independent from the battery and alternator, now you have the choice!

Another thing I found is the idea to add fuel injection to the Rotax,
but keeping the carbs at the same time for redundancy. The carbs then
double duty as a throttle body for the EFI.
And if the EFI failes, you can fall back on the carbs. In fact, when
running on the carbs the engine is just "stock".
See attached picture.
Any comments?

Frans,
I have an album about the Billet Pump on my Europa Owners Gallery.
I have not completed the installation yet as I'm in India for the month of May. I'll get back to it once I return home.
It looks like an excellent solution for replacing one of the electric pumps with a mechanical pump. It is supposed to be capable of putting out more fuel at a higher pressure than both pumps together. It has its own pressure regulator to provide the necessary pressure to the standard Rotax provided fuel pressure regulator.
Dan at Billet has been great to work with. I'll let folks know how thing go once I get it all installed and running.
As for the fuel injection... Well it could be great. Let us know how it goes ;^}
Check SIx,
Bob Borger
