This is the same fuel pump sold by Airflow Performance and Vans. This is ONLY the pump itself, without the manifold, pressure relief valve and check valve. I decided to save some money and buy/build the other parts myself. I built mine for about $250. I bought two extra pumps for my friends. However, one guy decided to use a carbureted engine and backed out. Airflow Performance sells the bare pump for $300. I'll sell this one for $180 plus shipping ($10-$16). I also have info on how to build the manifold and where to buy the valves. Contact me off list if interested.

Seems strange to me that if they suck so bad you would buy at least four of them and throw them away. do not archive Wheeler North wrote: > >Vans gauges suck for RF intolerance, I've thrown away about four of them.

I've got one in my RV that is about 4 yrs old with 300 hrs. About 50 hrs ago, I ran it inadvertantly for a few minutes with the fuel valve off. It may be my imagination, but it makes more noise now. No leaks, plenty of pressure but this may be a good time to replace it. I guess my question is, will a few minutes of running with a closed off suction damage these pumps?

Some of you may not know which types of cylinders were used on your engine. If your engine builder provided you with a detailed parts list, you should be able to distinguish which manufacturer made your cylinders by reviewing the nomenclature. ECI Lycoming replacement cylinders have an AEL in front of them, and Superior Lycoming replacement cylinders have an SL. If you have purchased a kit engine from BPE, only Lycoming OEM cylinders were used. If your engine builder did not provide you a detailed parts list, you can easily identify which cylinders you have by looking at the rocker box boss above the exhaust port for the AEL, SL or Millenium insignia. Hope this information is helpful to at least some of you! Everyone have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend! Rhonda Barrett-Bewley Barrett Precision Engines, Inc. 2870-B N. Sheridan Rd.

I'm an auto mechanic by trade. I've seen pumps (in cars) make noise and yet runs for years after. However, a noisy pump is usually the first sign of a future failure.

I have someone interested in my RV-6AQB kit. It includes the tail, wing, and fuse kit but no finishing kit. I paid $17,800 for the kit plus shipping. Approx. 200 hours build time but lets assume no work has been done. If anyone can provide some insight on what would be a fair asking price, I would appreciate it! Thanks, David ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 02:47:45 PM PST US From: "David Leonard" Subject: Re: RV-List: Determining value of RV-6AQB kit for sale David, In 1999 I paid $17k for my QB kit second-hand. It included the finish kit and the empenage kit had been build (very nice job). QB kits from Vans were going for something like $25k at the time. Hope that helps as a data point. -- David Leonard Turbo Rotary RV-6 N4VY http://N4VY.RotaryRoster.net http://RotaryRoster.net On Fri, May 23, 2008 at 2:23 PM, David wrote: > Hello All, > > > I have searched the archives and not found the answer. > > I have someone interested in my RV-6AQB kit.

I sold my 50% completed RV-9a kit with instruments, prop but no engine for what I had purchased it all from Van's. Prices had gone up and I had paid some builder assistance dollars and of course freight costs. The buyer got a good deal because prices had gone up since I started on the kit 3 years back and quality was quite good. And I felt good about not losing out on my matl's costs. I figured my labor, freight & help were just part of my learning experience. I'm now flying a completed RV and very, very happy with my decision to buy and stop building. I have lots of build experience but with a better RV than I would have ended up with for ( I think) less money. Another Data Point.
