william orndorff 7 #1 Posted May 24, 2019 I just had my third after market (cheap) mechanical fuel pump quit on my 312-8. Thinking about an electric pump. I assume I'll need a low pressure pump. Any suggestions on the particular specs or where to find one? The lady of the house has forbidden me to buy mechanical pump from Toro at $189.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,146 #2 Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) I use Facet Posi flo. get one with 4psi or less. I get mine from Spruce aviation. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/solidstatepump.php Around $35-40 and i figure if they use them in planes where fuel pump failure is big deal should be reliable enough for my WH. Oldest one is going on 4-5 years now. Edited May 24, 2019 by pfrederi 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

william orndorff 7 #5 Posted May 26, 2019 Thanks for the help men . I know I need a pump that puts out 4 psi or less. How about flow rate? Are they all pretty much the same? Also should they be mounted close to the fuel tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasey54 304 #6 Posted May 26, 2019 I have a couple, they just need to be mounted low. Works great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
