Hello again Gents,

I cannot find any information regarding the GPH (gallons per hour) or PSI min. & max. for our electric fuel pumps.???? this will be in the requirements from the engine manufacturer, it will stipulate a minimum and a maximum psi for the fuel supply so this is nothing to do with the aircraft but is unique to individual engines

After a frustrating 20 minutes, I was able to remove the fiberglass belly pan of the X Air H. I am glad I did this because the previous owner didnt install the bypass fuel line section with a 1-way check valve! Why do you think he did not do this? ignorance or trying to keep costs as low as possible??? He built the airplane pretty well with upgraded wiring and other parts, but maybe because he felt more connections means greater potential for leaks?????

Moreover, I notice I have a Facet Cube fuel pump - model # 40105. The specs on the Cube 40105 are: 30GPH, 3.0 min PSI and 4.5 max PSI.????? a quick Google search led me to the Jabiru manufacturers website where it states the maximum pressure should be 3 psi please this is just a Google search please look at the manufacturers manual and specifications for their product

Is this correct? I feel like I should replace the electric pump, just in case. Here is my reasoning: the previous owner didnt even install the supplied Facet fuel filter into the Facet Cube! Why did he not do this as well????? because of the well-known problems with clogging of this filter. Most people do not use this filter and instead install a proper filter upstream

After the fuel tank, I do have a Dorman 55240 glass fuel filter, which is great, but because of my paranoia with the fiberglass/resin and organic particles in my 100LL fuel that is currently in the tank, I wont be surprised if there are some fine particles trapped within my Facet Cube - engine & plane currently at 160hours.?

I cant seem to find any info regarding how much min. and max. and GPH my 22A2895 Jabiru 2200 (160hrs) calls for, in the event my Jabiru mechanical fuel pump fails.

It is pretty simple I just went to the Jabiru website and downloaded the installation? manual for the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines and they are saying minimum 2 psi and maximum 5 psi. This comes directly from the manual at the link below and I would not use anything but the engine manufacturers specifications
