How much current does your fuel pump draw Ed?
  However, to answer your question, the pumps specs indicate they draw 5.
5.8 amps at 12 volts.

Wow, that's 70 watts per pump!

Tracy, how much power (amps) does your EFI and ignition controller draw (including
coils)?

This really makes me think twice about wanting to change from carburated to EFI on
an all electrical airplane. Runtime on a 20 amp-hours battery with the alternator
gone?

Somebody should build a rotary with long intake runners and carbs.
