I've got a square-shaped Facet as a transfer pump from a wing tank to the header. Despite being left on and running dry surely more than once during my plane's long life, it continues to turn on and pump fuel without fail.
I have two independently wired pumps (primary and back-up) drawing from the header and pushing fuel to the top-mounted Ellison. As I write this I can't recall who makes them but they look just like a fuel filter, silver cylinders with an inlet on one end and outlet on the other. If it weren't for the electrical terminals they could easily be confused with the fuel filters mounted just upstream of the pumps.. These have never failed. Flying along one day I turned off the fuel pump to see how long the engine would run without the pump. As in Mark Jones' experience, the engine continued to run as if the pump was still on. That was a nice surprise. My guess is it's siphoning since the Ellison is higher than the fuel level in the tank except when the tank is full.
