Thanks Griffo - I heard swinging the compass can be challenging for the AVmap.
As you say, still a neat little instrument and I use a handheld Garmin for navigation.
Would be great to be able to use the AVmap's HSI with some precision.
Cheers. Jan

Hi Griffo,

I agree with most of what you say, especially about vapours returning through the
fuel return line to the tank if there are any in the system hence my comment
about assisting starting especially when hot. I think the restricted fuel return
line is in the build manual, so all Europa's should be fitted with it, I
know mine is.

I do leave mine on when starting, the pump only draws about 1.5 amps so shouldn't
affect starting too much, but I do agree that all electrics are best off when
starting.

The cost of replacement in the UK is about 40 for the Facet pump (about $80 Aus
?) which isn't a lot when amortised over the life of the pump - mine is still
going after 7 years in my ownership and there is no record of it having been
changed since build in 2001.

I guess it's just down to personal preference so until someone comes up with really
good reason not to do it, I'll be leaving mine 'on'

DD, 

There is no really good reason for continually running your auxiliary pump, nor
is there a good reason for turning it off when not required, except for  the
erlier point, that by leaving it on all the time, you may "mask" a failed main
pump. 

Other than this, I see no strong reason for arguing either way.

Its just your argument for leaving it on is a bit weak.
