Correct.
Any speed shop can help.
Although electric auto racing pumps can run to $600.+, a decent one
capable of alcohol and gasoline, w/ 140gph capacity may run around
$200.

Holley pumps work great, been around a LONG time and are reasonably pric
ed. The red pump has a 7psi output at 110 gph, the blue one is about the
same with 14 psi discharge pressure. Both can be had at Jegs, Sunmmit a
nd other mail order catalogs. Been running one in my race cars/boats/str
eet rods and airplane for years and never had a failure. There's one in
my beast and it flies almost every day here in Paradise..

I have a dual electric pump only (no mechanical pump) RV7a...Fuel
injected. I used the NAPA after market pump like the rotary boys do...I
paid about $85 for each pump I think.
Tracy Cook is the guy you want to talk to...he has a web site and his
pump is listed there. He tells me he has never heard of a failure,
except if you run thm dry.

These pumps are not rocket science but they are obviously "aircraft"

up with an AFP fuel pump when Mattituck sent me my finished engine. I
can't help but speculate that there HAS to be a similar pump in the auto

cost between 50-100 dollars and be of equal or better quality than a PMA

I think 140GPH might be just a BIT high....like 4 TIMES what you
need...:)
I measured the $85 NAPA pumps at 38 GPH each. They run about 29psi in
service...Pefect for a FI IO360. They are alcohol compatibible...they
have to be to cope with ethanol laced auto fuel.
So far we have been talking Fuel injection. Remember that for
carburetted you can use a solid state fecet pump at about $30 a piece.

For a Lycosaurus FI sysytem (either bendix or Airflow performance) I
think the 14psi would be right on the bottom limit if i remember
correctly.

This is not to ruffle anyone's hair, BUT..... if a fuel pump in an auto
craps out, some cuss words and a tow truck is about as far as it goes. It a
pump fails in an airplane, most (but not all) pilot/owners will look for
"Who can I suit?". This insurance costs money. We in the experimental end
can install any type of pump we wish, so can bypass the expensive ones. I
try to keep in mind, if we want the quality products from companies such as
AFP's and their throttle bodies, etc., then we have to support them.
OR..............it's Bendix and their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Just MHO.

I've flown 325 hours with dual electric pumps and have had no failures.
Price was around $60 when I purchased them back in 1994. Both were MDS high
pressure injector pumps and would flow 45 GPH at 40 psi. Test them each
conditional inspection, one pump (primary) pressure has gradually decreased
from 80 psi (no flow) to 60 psi over the years, the back up (used on take
off and landing) still produces 80 psi. Never had a problem with them.
Frank's right on - you can damage them if you run them dry for any period
over a few seconds. I have run tanks dry before switching and that short
period does not appear to cause damage.
Tracy Crook flies with and sells a similar pump for aircraft use. His

Be advised that Tracy's pumps are true high pressure pumps designed for
electronic injection (>50psi) & require the regulator to have a return
line to the tank. (about 80% cheaper, though...)
