Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Fuel pump blowing a fuse?
From: "Peter Langlois" <pete@wort.org>


Sequence goes like this:

Master on, fuel pump on, silence (except for the gyros spinning up.)

Strobes, fuel pump, and starter are on the same fuse.

What about a fuel pump would cause this problem?  Is is a wiring issue
inside the pump body, or more likely some short otherwise.

Testing the circuit with the battery disconnected shows good connectivity
through the fuse.  No short between the power source and the fuse body. 
Replace fuse, master on, stobes work.  Strobes off, fuel pump on, blown
fuse.

Anyone had this experience before?  Is is just a common fuel pump failure?

Thanks for the input.
