Default Fuel Pump.

Hi All,

I am looking for a small fuel pump which I am told is used with the fuel system on jet engined planes. I am sure there are many different versions but this item is a seperate item and is not attached to the engine. It is electric and just pumps the fuel from the tank to the engine.
Is there anyone who can help?

Thanks Beverley.

Hi All,

Thanks for the quick replies. Firstly regarding prices. I would like the item to be very durable so therefore I would not want any old cheap product. It must also be very small the smallest possible pump that is of this kind. I tried to use a pump from a washer wiper on a car but this was too powerful and too big. The chappie who has posted the picture, do you know the size of the pump in the picture?

Again thank you all and your help is appriciated.

The pump is needed for a project

Hi Bev
Just to warn you AMT pumps are far more powerfull than a car washer pump
you may have to use a rheostat to control speed

Regards
Brian

We did our best, and the guy concerned phoned us and had a chat with Roger, but our pumps are not suitable for his application. Our fuel pumps are low volume, high pressure and he needs high volume, low pressure.

I'm fascinated by the number of projects and plans which people propose and where they think our parts may be suitable. People talk to us at the shows, we receive emails and phone calls ..... Many of them are not suitable, but very interesting.

Hi Brian, do you know what the specs are for Bennie's fuel pumps ? i.e. min/max voltage and fuel flows ?

Thanks, Rob.
