I was thinking about I was doing it. The pump I bought was made by Bosch (pass on the Airtex) and is held I place with a locking ring and sealed via an O-ring. What struck me about it was the connect points. The housing and connect points are all plastic. The fuel lines lock in place with a plastic clip. After dropping the tank to replace the pump (fun, fun, fun) I got to thinking that maybe this would not be the way I would want to design my fue= l system in my plane. A high quality fuel pump connected properly to the fuel source should be both dependable and maintainable. I=92m building a canard and plan on putting a 2-3 gal sump tank behind the rear seat. --bcaec547c89dbd285604abebdedb Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
