Gang,
We have developed a kit for the CJ that removes both the wobble pump and primer
plunger. A stand by electric fuel pump serves as both an emergency pump and
the primer. Primer is done via a solenoid on the firewall tied into a three way
switch. Kit includes pump, solenoid, hard lines (both to/from the pump and
from the gascolator to the solenoid), fittings, and picture instructions. Please
contact us off list for pricing and details.
Happy Flying,
Barry

Subject: | Re: Back up Fuel Pump |
Keith, I'd personally love to see that schematic and installation pictures
myself.- Just FYI, my UTVA-66 (made in Yugoslavia) has many of the same p
arts found in the YAK.- One thing that was "almost" the same was the manu
al priming pump.- It has been replaced with a Weldon J style 8100 series
electric pump http://www.weldonpumps.com/j8100.htm
-
In addition, an electric solenoid valve has been added so that engine primi
ng is done simply by pushing an electric button!- Pretty cool and it work
s perfectly.-
-
The 8100 series has-... quote:- "-Low Pressure Drop Bypass Valve Perm
itting Passage of fuel through an Idle Pump"--- This feature allows i
t to be installed in-line with the main fuel flow going to the engine drive
n mechanical pump.- Putting a pump in this way allows you to turn it on..
.. then push a button to prime, or leave it running as a backup pump to the
one driven by the M-14.- The GSO-480 uses a pressure carb as does the M-
14.- Having fuel pressure present right at the carb allows for much easie
r starts in cold weather.- Fuel pressure is adjustable at the pump.-
-
I have not put this mod in my YAK-50, but I can tell you that this thing wo
rks FLAWLESSLY in the UTVA-66, and I use it ALL the time on the hot GS0-480
engine when it tends to vapor lock on a hot start.-
-
A much easier installation could be done in the YAK models simply by having
a manual selector valve in the cockpit to replace the current manual pump,
allowing selection of fuel pressure either to "system" or to "prime", alon
g with an electric switch to turn on the pump,- I think I might even have
a three position switch for the pump.- "OFF" "ON" and SPRING LOADED OFF"
.- Spring loaded off would allow you to select prime, and then just hit t
he switch a few times "squirting in fuel".- Turning it to "ON" and select
ing SYSTEM, would then allow a backup to the main engine driven pump.-
-
I'm just thinking out-loud here.- There are many ways to do it, but perso
nally I think it's a great idea and worth doing.-
-
-
Good luck,
-

Simple- the fuel pump ( $43.00 ) is mounted parallel to the engine driven pump.
Fuel is taken from the gascolator/screen and delivered to the inlet side of
the bubbler from the engine driven pump ( not on a CJ ). The Facet pump has
a internal check valve keeping fuel from going back to the gascolator. Turning
on the pump charges the carb for starting as well. Have fun with the plumbing.
The TW uses hard lines but no reason hose can not be used. Facet # 40164 -
24V Neg. Ground, 4-C PSI Max, 30 GPH, 1/8 x 27 internal pipe ports. This install
does not interfear with the normal flow of fuel. One switch one pump with
2 lines and fittings. Should cost under $150.00 for everything.

Bubbler removes the vapor from the fuel and returns it back to the system prior
to being sent to the final fuel screen and on to the caburator.
Normally only found on a Yak or a CJ if it's lucky. Located on the right side of
the firewall about the size of a softball. Looks a little like Sputnik.
Yaks have the balls and CJ don't ( normally ).

What you suggest-makes sense.- The Facet pump is a VERY good pump.-Ho
wever I am curious.-
This is a "six of one, half a dozen of another" kind of question, but which
method would be better do you think?-
-
Putting a pump in parallel as you describe, or putting a pump in series as
I mentioned?-
-
If a pump in series failed for some reason and parts clogged it up, you wou
ld of course lose engine fuel and that would be that!.
-
If the one way check valve in the Facet pump failed and went "bi-directiona
l" in a parallel arrangement, the engine pump would cavitate and the same t
hing would happen.- No engine fuel.-
-
Which way is better?-
-
On my UTVA it is in series.- I am NOT saying "that is a better way".-
- I am curious what others think and why.-

Question: What's wrong with the manual backup pump?-
Answer:- There isn't one.-
-
There is a manual priming pump.- This same manual pump can also be used t
o put some initial head pressure to the engine driven pump (system).-
-
However, using this pump to keep the engine going if the engine driven mech
anical pump fails (a geared pump) is highly unlikely.- Yes, it could be u
sed to stretch a glide, etc., etc., but you are going to be one busy bee tr
ying to pull that thing in and out fast enough to keep the engine actually
running.- I think a good way to describe trying to do that would be best
said-as-using the plunger pump to carry the aircraft to the scene of th
e accident.-
-
There are indeed stories of people that have claimed to have actually pulle
d this off, but honestly.... I have my doubts.- That plunger pump is is n
ot a continuous pressure pump and at best you are going to get quick "shots
" of power as you pump the crap out of this thing.-
-
An electric pump would indeed meet the definition of a "backup fuel pump" w
hile also being a very cool tool for priming.- -

Bill,
If one installs an electric primer pump on the Yak 52, it should be in
the primer line which is a 6 mm line coming from the fuel junction just
below the front seat to the primer pump. The procedure would be to turn
the primer pump to the left (system side) then turn on the electric
pump. This will pump fuel through the mechanical pump which would be
more than what you could pump with the hand primer pump.

In the event of a total failure the engine driven pump has much larger lines feeding
the bubbler and the would cause the Facet to act like a pressure relief
valve to the extent of the leak or bypass which would need to be a total failure
and them I don't see how all the fuel would bypass. The pump should not cavatate
any more than a fuel pressure relief in a Duke pump or a Weldon with pressure
relief. This is how Aerostar installs it in the Yak.

I forgot to add that with the parallel system and the Facet you have enough room
that you can put in 6 check valves downstream of the boost pump if you think
the one in pump might fail for all the money you save buying the Weldon and still
retain you original system without messing with the primary line.

I would think the mechanical fuel pump output that is plugged up
(which used to go to the oil dilute) could be used for the Facet
output. Is that true, or wouldn't that work? I assume you'd have to do
some mix and match fittings for the input side. Does anyone if
Aerostar now using American sizes, or some kind of conversion to use
the Facet pump?
Remarks?
