Without starting another famous thread war concerning the virtues or pitfalls associated with off-spec fuel systems in Vans airplanes, let us just say that I have a hypothetical situation
where I would like to be able to transfer fuel using an electric pump from one tank to another. I would like to be able to move this fuel at a reasonable rate, a gallon per minute or better, but pressure requirement is about nil since the tanks are on the same vertical position.
The AFP injector pump would obviously work, but at nearly $400 I'm sure there is a cheaper aftermarket automobile electric pump that could be adapted to this task. Does anyone have a suggestion for model number or purchasing location for my "hypothetical" situation? What is the wide-open flow rate of the $36 Facet pump?
