Bob, What engine do you have?? And was the electric fuel pump added to take the place of the mechanical pump?? If you had an O-200 installed, most of them did not have mechanical pumps, I am not aware of any coupes authorized to fly with only an electric pump except the 30 gallon tanks which did not use the center tank,. I would appreciate your input on this for my info
Couper 3989H Tom The O200 STC calls for an electric fuel pump to replace the mechanical one which, as previously pointed out, is a rarity on an O200. A single pump is allowed as it is a transfer pump, not the pump feeding the engine. There are a few C75/C85 powered coupes out there with electrical pumps in place of the mechanical one, on a field approval, using the O200 STC as acceptable data. The 30 gallon fuel system requires both the electrical and mechanical fuel pumps as, in the absence of the header tank, the system is pressure feed and if pumping stops the fan will stop almost immediately thereafter.
