[C38] Facet Fuel Pump pressure

[D McC]

Hello Max,
As I recall when I thought I was in need of a replacement the specs were 6-8 
PSI. 

I took a chance and disassembled my failed pump. (it would sound like it was 
pumping but no fuel output)
I found that a washer had slipped and had jammed the pump so that it could not 
develop pressure. I re-assembled it and it worked perfectly. It is still in 
service. I now have 1 new spare and second used spare from my original spares 
kit. 

So sorry about the missed holiday sail!!!

Hi there,
Do anyone knows what's the electric fuel pump pressure that is used on the 
Universal 5424 / M30 engines??
The original screw up my Eastern week trip when she died on me at the middle of 
a channel, then, I  hit it with a wrench and started working.
With some gentile persuation every now and then with the wrench, she took me 
back home......
I found several Facet pumps on ebay, same looks, but different pressure....
I'm planning to get something like this locally and save my next weekend trip!

Regards,
