 Chuck, do you have the Napa part number for the pump you are
using?  Also do you know how much current it draws?  How many hours do you
have on that Napa pump?  Do you switch the pump on and off from the cockpit
or do you run it constantly?  I may go ahead and install the pump you
suggest anyway. The reason I have considered doing that is I may temporarily
turn on the pump prior to doing any maneuvers and/or aerobatics.  Then off
in level flight (cruise).
 Regards, Chris Gentry


Chris, I don't have the number (I gave it out before and I can't find the memo),
but if you look in the NAPA parts book it will be the largest electic pulse type
they make (about 12 gph as I recall). I use two of them, one for the turbo and
the other for the Ross G-box. I don't remember the amp load, and I leave them on
all the time. I probably have 30 hrs on them.

BTW Chuck, please do a signature file. I am getting tired of forging your
