Rick,
I use the electric pump only to fill the carb bowls then it is back off. I
have a fuel pressure alarm programed into my EIS. Should the fuel pressure
go low I will turn the electric pump on. I also turn the electric pump on
when the fuel level is below 4 gallons in the tanks. (this should be very
seldom) This satisfies my desire for a comfort level. My reasoning for not
running the electric pump during take off and landing is that those are the
most likely times for accidents and I would not want the electric pump
running and possibly pump fuel out in the event of an accident. My plans
are to install an inertia switch to open the main power solenoid then I
would be more comfortable running the electric pump on take off and landing.
This are only a hillbillies opinion so take it for what it's worth.

fuel from the tanks behind the seat. I am pulling my fuel off of the top of
the tanks with tube that go to the lowest point in the tanks. I think it was
Steve I was talking to and he said he only used his on take off and landing.

Hi John,
The time for the 2000 ft decent was 3 minutes and 15 seconds for a sink rate
of 615 ft/min at idle and the sink rate was estimated at 584 ft/min with the
engine off.
My plane has the 68" IVO, too. I made an error on the previous post.

Dominic,
Sorry, my error. It is a 68" prop.
