So I am getting ready to make my engine choice on my RV8 project, and I've decided that fuel injection is the way to go. The RV6 I built had a regular carb and fixed pitch prop. But I'm going with IO and CS on this one. I have some time behind fuel injected engines but I guess I don't fully understand them particularly wrt electric pump failure.
I'm getting ready to plunk down $600 for the Van's ES Airflow pump and filter, but what happens if that pump stops when I'm flying? Is there an engine driven pump that will keep me in the air? At all altitudes? Can I get a restart on the engine driven pump at lower altitudes or am I just going to have to find a place to set it down
