    From: "BPA" <BPA@bpaengines.com>
    Lycoming is notorious for part number changes. Any time they change a vendor they change a P/N. Tempest makes the pump also. Call Justin at Quality Aircraft Acc. Allen Barrett -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Bob Leffler Sent: Monday, October 21, 2013 5:55 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Fuel Pump Issue After shipping the data logs from my two flights and ground testing to Lycoming, they are recommending replacing my fuel pump. Naturally, I am just outside the warranty period. They recommended a part #62B26931, which I can find that it is an approved substitute for the installed part, which is a LW15473. Anyone know what the difference may be? Bob Sent from my iPad

    Seems rather poor customer service to sell an experimental engine, that they know won't be put into service for many months after the sale, if not a year or so, to not cover a fuel pump that only has an hour or two of actual operation.

    Allen, Any opinion on the differences between the Lycoming part and the Tempest? The Tempest is $100 less expensive.

    They seem to work just fine in the test cell and I haven't heard of any field issues.

    Your guess is as good as any. Lycomng platinum gold dust sprinkled on the paperwork? Go with the Tempest and spend the difference on 100LL/ On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 7:26 AM, Bob Leffler <rv@thelefflers.com> wrote: > > Allen, > > Any opinion on the differences between the Lycoming part and the Tempest? > The Tempest is $100 less expensive. > > Thanks, > > Bob > > Sent from my iPad > > > On Oct 22, 2013, at 8:39 AM, "BPA" <BPA@bpaengines.com> wrote: > > > > > > Lycoming is notorious for part number changes.

    Well, I'm sure it would drive Lyc into bankruptcy to warrant that $200 pump.
