Just wanted to thank all of you who said it was possible to change the fuel
pump on an RV-4. It is! I have a Lycoming 0-320 E2A which has the dynafocal
and wide deck. All I can say is it is VERY close! Turned out to be very
fortunate to receive a call from a local friend with a -4 who had changed his
fuel pump. The trick seems to be to be able to keep the "plunger" or actuator
( should have looked up the correct name in the manual) in the UP position
and approach the engine from the side. We did that by having the mag off and
applying some grease to the pump actuator.
The vent fitting is probably only 3/16" or so from the firewall. Would like
to dent the FW but the spot requiring more clearance is right over an
extrusion. Would be very difficult to dent.
Thanks again,
