Overview
|
Note: Facet fuel pumps are not FAA approved and are not intended for aircraft use. These pumps measure less than 3" in any direction and weigh only 18 oz. Fuel is supplied as soon as the ignition is turned on so the engine will start faster at colder temps. Built-in pressure relief prevents flooding and assures fast re-starts on hottest days. The all-steel plated case is water tight. Mounts with two bolts. For best results, mount the pump close to the fuel tank and below the liquid level. The tank is self-priming to 12" to 36" Lift min dry. Standard 12 V models require only 1 amp at max. delivery. Many models are available, but these are the ones recommended by Rutan Aircraft Factory, Stoddard Hamilton and many other aircraft designers. All of the pumps shown feature the all nylon valve and plunger as specified by Rutan Aircraft in the Canard Pusher newsletter. |

This electric low pressure fuel pump works great as secondary fuel pump and I am running it any time the engine is on and works wonderful. It is working on a Powered Parachute.

40163 Facet Solid State Fuel Pump
Appears to be very good quality and functions very well. Im using it as a priming pump and backup to the original mechanical pump on a 1939 Mercury V8 engine, regulated to ~2 psi output.
Excellent low pressure back up pump on my Avid C with Rotax 582
As advertised and quick delivery
Excellent product, shipping on time. 100% recommended
Great pumps
Fit 07 Ktm superenduro with minor modifications
Use this pump as an addition to your fuel system. Great as a backup pump for two stroke Rotax engines and as a diagnostic tool for determining the integrity of a Mikuni pump
Q&A
Please note, Aircraft Spruce Australia's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce Australia assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.
Per the manufacturer, no, these are not recommended for fuels in the gaseous state.
Yes, it has a 3/8" male flare fitting, AN-6, attached to the pump.
The part number of the pump is always etched into the mounting flange on these Facet fuel pumps. For example, the 40105 has 40 105 etched into the mounting flange on one side, and on the other flange is 12V 14D.
It can be mounted vertically, but the manufacturer does not recommend it being mounted upside down.
The unit has female SAE J512 threads, which have a 45* flare. AN fittings have a 37* flare, and can not be used with each other.
The pump you ordered has 1/8" NPT threads, and the carbs use 1/4" fuel line. You'll want to use two brass nipples part number AN840-4, and whatever clamps you prefer.
Yes, you can use these pumps as the priming or lift pump, however you should choose the pump with enough GPH for your engine.
Yes, this should work just fine with Avgas.
This includes the pump as well.
It means when the pump is shut off the fuel for the most part wont pass through the pump. So this would not be the pump you want if you have another fuel pump that is drawing through one with a positive shut off.
