Airflow Performance fuel pump problem.

[Don at Airflow]

Just send the pump back to us with a note explaining what's going on. If we can not fix it we will have to replace the pump.

Slightly off the subject......are the Airflow pumps okay to run auto gas with a small amount of alcohol in it?
Also what is the fuel pressure out of the pump?

Update: Figure out I have a problem with my fuel pump on a friday night and post here, have a response from the head hancho the next day (a saturday). ship it to them and today I recieved my pump back from airflow in working condition at no cost to me. This is what I love about the companies that support our hobby, A+ customer service!

As far as the cause of the failure it was appearently from running dry, which I believe happend because the preservative oil must have drained when it was sitting in the fueselage for over 6 monts bbefore I ran it for about 10 seconds, my advice to others would be to make sure you have fuel in the system before even testing the pump, even very briefly.

A special thanks to Don at Airflow for his help!
