Does anyone know the vertical height distance that the Jet Cat fuel pumps can pump. I have the P300's with the fuel pump that services the P300/P400 turbines.

Static or with G?
pumping is not an issue, 6' easily, drawing to the pump can be the issue.

Static, the installation has to feed the twin turbines that have a 48" rise or lift above the lowest point in the fuel tank. Would it be best to mount the Jet Cat fuel pumps at the lowest point of the fuel tanks and pump or push it up the 48" to the turbines. Another idea (similar to automotive installations) is to pump the fuel using an automotive fuel pump (Facet) from the lowest point of the fuel tank into a header tank that is located 12" below the turbines. Then the Jet Cat fuel pumps would only need to pump or lift the fuel the 12" distance. It is a busier installation with the header tank plumbing but if there is an advantage it may be beneficial. The preferred installation is to just use the Jet cat pumps and not use the header fuel tank and automotive fuel pump.

Mount the pump at the pick up and pump the fuel up the 4' to the turbines. Should work fine if all the pipes are sealed nicely.

Thanks Dave,

I appreciate your quick return and informative feedback.
