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?
