Hi Greg,
 
I used Van's facet pump as a "boost" pump after = the tank=20 selector valve and it has worked fine for 300 hours. It does get the = fuel=20 flowing again after you have run the system dry (don't ask me how I = know).    Note: not all facet pumps are made the same, = they have=20 different pump pressure ratings and many  have the 45 deg = automobile=20 flared fittings rather than the 37 deg flare used in aircraft.  So = get the=20 one from Van's or some other reptuable aircraft company.
