Hi all,
looking for some info on how to install a Weldon 8163-A high pressure fuel pump.
It will be used as a boost pump feeding a Lycoming IO360 at 14V.
Now here are three questions as I do not have any documentation for the pump and Weldon has not responded to my emails yet...
1. Is there any preferred orientation of the pump and its motor?
2. What - if any - filtration is needed? (Precision likes to have the filter between the boost pump and the mechanical pump when installing the RSA system.)
3. There are four plug holes around the perimeter of the pump. Is one left open for any fuel overflow?
Thanks,
