The use of the electric fuel pump in flight is part of the emergency procedures. It is not normally used other than to start as you noted.
But is does provide enough fuel to operate the engine Last edited by TomM : 10-04-23 at 10:18 AM. |

fuel pressure
yes. Tom M . your Skymaster is different to the G model.
we dont have auxiliary tanks. just a very simple two tank system with a facility to select the feed to the engines from either tank. but as we seem to both agree, the auxiliary pumps are only for engine start or restart in the air. not to try sort out low fuel pressures in normal operations. the original contributor was suggesting using the electric pump in an non approved way |

Have your mechanic check the unmetered fuel pressure using the latest version of the SID97-3. Just a real good place to start.

Indeed it would be... IF.. the rest of the fuel / ignition system was known to be good.

Hello Everyone,
First thanks for all your help. It was infact a bad mechanical fuel pump verified by my AME and the pump is getting rebuilt as we speak. Chris |

Fire Sleeve
Make sure you have firesleeve on the main fuel line coming from the gascolator (sp) or the elect boost pump to the fuel pump and the return vapor line to the fuel manifold. I am learning this the hard way. Joe S

Circling back to some other comments, make sure your mechanic has the pressure gage assembly, SID and the IO-360 overhaul manual (M-7) to adjust the fuel pressure when you get the pump back - The pressures for the N/A IO-360 are not in the SID - it tells you to look at the overhaul manual. Its required and when I got mine back from QAA, it was way off and needed significant adjustment. If he does not have that capability, it would leave you stranded or require you to call in a mobile A&P.
