Get a used fuel pump from an older VW CFI (constant fuel injection) auto

just draw up high enough to not get any of the settlin's outa the sump.--
the older ones were frame mounted just ahead of the gas tank in a big
rubber jacket--about 4"x4"x8"---or you could just put quick disconnect
fittings on the plane & leave the pump in the hangar. (that's what I did
with my 855 Cummins.



what aeroplane did you have powered by an 855 Cummins?
it must have handled like a truck.
just curious.
