KR2 with Revmaster 2100D.
I was not going to install a fuel pump on my Revmaster 2100D since I felt that
the header tank should provide sufficient head pressure to supply the engine
with fuel under most normal non-aerobatic maneuvers to include climb attitudes.
Am I correct in my assumption or

I don't have a header tank at all and run 2 electric fuel pumps.

I've got a square-shaped Facet as a transfer pump from a wing tank to the
header. Despite being left on and running dry surely more than once
during my plane's long life, it continues to turn on and pump fuel
without fail.
I have two independently wired pumps (primary and back-up) drawing from
Thought you had a VW engine. My mistake. On my sub I ran 2 pumps 1 on when key

I had a similar set up - carb was an Amal - recommended by our EAA after
having problems with the original ---? that came with the Revmaster.
No pump -just a forward facing pitot to ensure positive pressure in the
tank.
Never had any problems.

I ran two pumps but that was for wing tanks to keep the header tank full.
Gravity off the header tank should be your last resort.

You are correct. It will not start on the ground without pumps. It also
probably would not start in the air with no pumps. What I said was it continued
to run with no pumps. The facets are reliable as many of us have proven.

At least for my plane, with 5gal in the tank it won't even start without a
pump (I tried, right after I hooked the EFS-2 up - No dice. Fuel present
all the way through, and it runs on starting fluid, so that (IMHO) leaves
insufficient pressure). Given that there is only about 8" of vertical

This statement is not necessarily true. Back in the early days of my KR2S
flying with my EFS-3 Corvair engine I had a complete pump failure due to a
broken ground wire. B

The Facets are more reliable than they may appear, and are dirt simple.
The stock mechanical pump is certainly less reliable.
Having said that, you
So...
I'm using an EFS-2 and need a fuel-pump.
My engine is an 1835 VW with accessory-case & single-plug heads, and I'm
using a single mag as my ignition source. All fuel is in a *large* header
tank, directly behind the panel.

Joe,
I used that system. Ellison with two Facet in series, both always running.
They suggest that you run them in parallel, but I have proven that it is not
necessary to do that.

Hey guys,
I had to replace my facet transfer pump this past week. It had actually
acted up several times over the past 3 or 4 years. I only use it for transfer
from wings to header tank on a schedule when i'm on a long trip. So basicly it
runs about 1 hour for every 5 hours that I fly. So ov
Is anyone using an electric fuel pump with a gravity flow header tank for
take-off, landing or emergency? I would appreciate a schematic of your system
and identification of the parts. Almost done, after a 3 year rebuild..

Yes indeed, that was the problem. So I conducted some tests.
There were 4 objectives:
1. Do the pumps work. These are Facet 40105N
2. Are they self siphoning
3. Will fuel flow through a pump that is not operating

Excellent work Dan. Your pictures are worth a thousand words and hopefully
will eliminate a thousand more discussions. I have found that with my type
4 turbo setup, using a Revflow carb, that without my single Faucet pump
turned on, I can only get 3000 rpm. With the pump on, I can go to 3600
So I conducted some tests.

Well set up exercise with positive and tangible results - thanks Dan.

Does this leave you without a backup pump?? wouldn't matter if you had

My KR came with the high pressure facet . It was causing the engine to
hesitate upon application of full power,(not a pleasant feeling on take
off). After I replaced it with the low pressure facet my Zenith has no
problem handling the flow.

Well, the Facet seems to bring quite a flow restriction. Moreover, that
restriction is not consistent. It depends on where the pump mechanism sits
when you switch off. So, my 2.4 liter won't work at full RPM without the
pump on.
Thanks, Serge... I've been following all the report
