Default RE: Field Fuel Pump slipping

I've had mine apart now probably 3 times now. The shaft slips on the impeller connection. Mine (Hobbico electric pump) has the shaft from the motor that is just a friction fit. After time it will loosen and then slip. I fixed it by roughening up the shaft and gluing it with CA. Works fine now. I carry a manual pump just for redundancy.
