It specs 4-7 PSI. I'm guessing w/ a foot or so of lift to the engine driven fuel pump, 6 psi is getting up to the old Pierburg 720 971.55 fuel pump. Is this ok or should I go down to the 40105 model pump that is more of a 2.5 to 4 PSI pump? I only run the electric pump to fill the carbs before start and check for function. Thanks!

I put my 5 gallon can on the plywood which I place on my wing (Kitfox). I use one of those jiggle siphons to siphon the gas into my tank.

They pressurize the can on the ground so you just run a hose up to the wing.

They work great. In my hanger a ladder is used for the gas can and "on the road" I place the 5 gal can high up the spine of the fuselage.

I have it on both my aircraft. Both have a long lift to the pneumatic pump so I run the pump all the time. It doesn't over power the float needle on either the 54 or 64 carbs.

Get the other pump at 2.5 - 4 psi. This is where the engine normally runs (3.1-4.5). Running 6-7 psi will over pressure and flood the carbs. Your engine only needs 2.2 to run. If you have a high wing then it could be lower at the pump with a little help from gravity in an emergency. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
