| Subject: | Suitable place for electric fuel pump? |
Fellow Allegro listers,
Recently an electric fuel pump was installed in my Allegro 2000 (year 2001).
The pump is of make FACET-PUROLATOR and was placed in the motor compartment
on the bulkhead, close to where the fuel hose from the tank is fed through
the
firewall forward. It seemed to be a "logical position" to the persons who
did the job.
The electric pump is fitted parallel to the mechanical one.
The performance of the pump now appears to be too critical. Once, when the
engine
was hot and the pump was activated before starting the engine, it kept
"running dry" and
the fuel pressure gauge was not reacting at all.
Reading the installation instructions I learned that the pump was placed too
high
relative to the bottom of the fuel tank. The specification says: maximum 12
vertical inches.
So I think the position of the electric fuel pump must be changed.
I very much would like to know now: what is the, by the manufacturer
prescribed, installation position for the electric fuel pump on the Allegro
2000. Does anyone have a photograph or a sketch available for me? Thanks a
lot for your reaction.
