Kolbers,

I developed two concerns while flying yesterday. Maybe that's the price
you pay to have weather suitable for flying in January in PA!! I do two
seperate posts...

I have both an electric and pulse fuel pumps and I take off with the
electric pump on and switch it off when I'm at altitude. Yesterday when
I was preparing to go I found fuel dripping from the hole in the bottom
of the pulse pump. When I turned the electric pump off it stopped,
turned it on and it dripped again. I took my last flight but had the
electric pump off from TO to L.

I don't know what's inside the pulse pump or the workings of the
electric pump, so if any of you are familiar enough with either or both
maybe you could direct me to, first, which pump is malfunctioning and
second, in what way. I'd appreciate any input from anyone familiar,
because I'm not.

Thanks,

Dave Kulp

Dave,

Looks like the pulse pump diaphragm is starting to leak a little. Time to
rebuild or replace your pulse pump.
