Some final thoughts before I head to the local brewery to make music with some friends of mine.
If your check list has you turn on the electric pump before startup make sure you turn it off long enough before turning it back on for T.O. to insure the engine pump is working. How long does it take the engine to empty the carb at high idle / taxi speed?
As for carrying a backup battery, many experimentals are using electronic ignition now days that require a backup battery. No reason this second battery can't do double duty as a backup for fuel pumps.
Last, if someone has been injured or died from a single point failure of a mechanical fuel pump failure I suspect there is more to the story. Just my guess.
