Overview

Note: Facet fuel pumps are not FAA approved and are not intended for aircraft use.

Fuel Compatibility:
All models of the Facet High Performance Gold-Flo Solid State Fuel Pumps are compatible with gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, blended alcohol fuels and fuel additives.

Reliability:
The new Gold-Flo Solid State Fuel Pump is an enhanced version of the Interrupter model. It has Solid State circuitry and will meet or exceed all performance specifications and is totally interchangeable. (These pumps have demonstrated an endurance life almost double that of the nearest competitor, according to test data).

Easy to Install-Easy to Service:
Two bolt mounting makes installations easy. Nothing to adjust. For best results, mount the pump close to the fuel tank and below the fuel level. The pump is self-priming to 24 inches vertical fuel lift. Vertical mounting is preferred to assure maintenance of rated pressures. The only service normally required is a simple cleaning of the filter and fuel inlet cavity.

Eliminates Vapor Lock:
When properly installed on most vehicles a constant, smooth, dependable supply of fuel under pressure is assured in the hottest weather or in high altitudes.

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.

Q: This pump looks exactly like the pump currently on my 1968 Cherokee 140. I've read from various sources that some of these pumps are FAA approved and others aren't. Are these Gold pumps FAA approved for replacement use? I'm wondering if I need an STC or any other applicable paperwork aside from a logbook entry. Thanks in advance.

The Facet pumps we stock are not FAA approved. In most cases they are physically the same, but approved units have to be ordered from the original manufacturer of the aircraft. They own the STC or PMA, not Facet. We can usually special order them for you.

Q: Will these 40131E pumps allow flow through in case of failure? In other words, do they require a separate check valve in parallel to provide fuel flow if the pump fails? Thanks, Peter

Per the manufacturer, the 40131E has an internal positive shutoff valve which is designed to stop fuel flow when the pump is turned off. So to answer your question, NO this pump will not work as a flow thru fuel pump

Q: I need a # 476459. I noticed the # listed in the chart is 476459E. What does the E stand for?

The E stands for electronic. Both pumps will fit the same application.

Q: What gauge wire should be run to these pumps?

We can't list the size because it depends on the aircraft voltage and how long the wire is going to be to the power source/battery. The general recommendation is to ask the installer to refer to the FAA 43.13, Acceptable, Methods, and Practices chart 11-2 to select the appropriate wire.

Q: Are these pumps FAA/PMA approved?

No, these pumps are intended for experimental aircraft use only.

Q: What is the meaning of 'positive shut off valve' referenced in the specifications chart? Does this mean, that no fuel can flow through the pump when it is shut off?

Per the supplier: Yes, that is it exactly. Please bear in mind that only some models of the Facet Gold-Flo pumps have this positive shut off valve.

Q: I was told that the 05-10842 pump would allow fuel to gravity flow thru the pump backwards to fill an auxiliary fuel tank in a low position? (One fuel line in from the main tank, for filling, the same fuel line out for pumping back into the main tank for use.)

Per the supplier: This pump does not have a check valve or a positive shut-off so the fuel would continuously flow through when off.

Q: What is the weight of Facet pump # 05-10872 on it's own?

Approx 1.62 lb out of the box.

Q: Is the FACET 478360E gold-Flow FAA or EASA approved?

No, these do not hold any FAA Approval.

Q: I need a pump P/N 477003E, is this pump still existing or do I need another one?

We are not permitted to sell the 477003E pump. Please contact Flint Aero at 619-448-1551 to purchase this pump.
