> " Love to here any guesses or from anyone with experience."
Mark has had an Ellison diaphram sitting in a glass jar of ethanol for the last ten years or more with no damage last I heard. Except for adjusting the idle up a tiny bit, I haven't had to touch my Ellison in the 14 years I've had it. My fuel line goes through an electric pump, an automotive-size fuel filter, a fuel flow turbine, and finally the pressure regulator. I avoid auto fuel although I've mixed Chevron Premium in with the avgas on rare occasions. Utterly problem-free carb, in my experience. It's top mounted. I learned to my surprise that the engine will continue to run off of the header tank without the fuel pump on. Siphon fed I guess you'd call it. I turned the pump off in cruise one day just to see what would happen and nothing did. I wouldn't want to do that in any other configuration other than cruise and descent though. There's a back-up pump in case of primary pump failure. They are both the round kind of aluminum colored pumps that look almust just like a fuel filter. ************************** BTW, I've mentioned to Mark there's a fellow here at Gillespie, Doc McCallister who has an EFS-2 boxed up and ready to ship. I haven't seen it. He bought it from Sparky a number of years ago and decided he wasn't going to use it for the purpose he bought it for so it's for sale for $500. Doc McCallister, (619) 244-4015.
