| Subject: | Electric boost pump requirement |
Hi guys, I'm back in the market and am looking at buying a 601ul. This particular
plane has the 80hp Rotax in it. Is it required that there should be a electric
boost pump in case the engine driven pump fails? It just has the header tank
and no wing tanks. From what I can see it looks like the carbs are higher
then most of the fuel tank volume. There is a fuel pressure gauge but the owner
has said it has never worked. Would there be a gauge just for the engine driven
pump?
Anyway, it seems to me that there would not be adequate gravity fuel flow if
the mechanical pump failed......any thoughts?
Regards

I'd see it as pretty chancy, to hope that if the engine driven pump
quit, I still had the top half of the tank to get home on. The electric
pump is sort of,...."better to have it and not need it, than to need
it....well, you get the idea. The fuel pressure may not be enough to
make the gauge register; I'd ask the owner how long he's held it in a
full-power, steep climb, and then decide accordingly. Me? I'd put one
in. (refer to above).

Hi Wayne,
Have you seen my latest ad? Yours for $22,000.00 and it has a electric boost pump
and fuel pressure
gauge that works!
You know the a/c. I'm assuming you are over your problem. Back flying PIC again?
