Hello guys,
I am currently installing the boost pump (Vans kit) for my fuel injected engine. In the manual it says that the pump is made for continues operation. I searched the forums but everybody seems to switch the boost pump on and off, for take-off, landing, changing tanks, etc. I could not find a reason why the pump can?t be on all the time though.
I was thinking of wiring it to the ?on?-position of my ignition switch to have it running all the time when the engine is running.
For instrument set-up, programming the GPS, etc., I would have an ?accessories? position on the ignition switch, like in a car, at which position the pump would not be running. Switching the pump off in an emergency (fire) can be done with the circuit breaker.
Comments, anybody?
