| Subject: | Rotax 914 Fuel Pumps |
I have a Europa XS powered by a 914 which has two electric fuel pumps. It is always
a niggling concern that if I have an alternator failure and a coincident
low battery condition that both pumps would fail with consequent engine stoppage.
This may seem a naive question but is there any approved (UK) alternative using
some form of mechanical pump with the 914?

Barry,
I'm in the US and working on the installation of a mechanical fuel
pump on my 914. You can see pics of the pump and regulator on my site
on EuropaOwners.org. The pump is capable of much more pressure and
volume than necessary for the 914 which is the reason for a second
regulator. It drops the pressure down to 25 pounds for the Rotax
regulator to handle. Once I get all the plumbing issues worked out
I'llbe posting more information. If it all works as planned, you
folks in the UK can begin your own approval processes.
Regards,
Bob Borger
