Dukes Fuel Pump

[Burt]

After an exhaustive on-line search and many phone calls I gave up trying to find the part that I needed and ordered a new pump so I will be back in the air in a few days. I am keeping my old pump since it was functioning perfectly except for a very slow leak along the shaft due to the "bearing and seal assembly" being worn. It still has many serviceable parts including the motor.

I discovered that McFarlane lists most of the parts for many aux pumps but not the part that I needed. McFarlane owns CJ Aviation which is the only authorized repair/overhaul facility for Dukes pumps that I could find in addition to the original manufacturer but CJ will not release the part that I needed. And of course Aero Fluid Products (formerly Dukes Aerospace) does not sell any parts but they will repair/overhaul my old pump. So I may send them my leaking pump to fix and keep it for a spare.
