Greg, can't recall the Facet pump number (its = been 9=20 years {:>)) -  except it was the one that Van sells for = aircraft. =20 I produces approx 6 psi fuel pressure and has the 37 deg flare fittings = (An-6).=20
 
However, the fuel does flow through the pump = just fine=20 when it is off.  I only turn it on for:
1. Take Off
2. Landing
3. Switching tanks
 
The rest of the time it sits there passively = while the=20 fuel flows through it.
