thanks for your help bob fisher parry sound ont

I don't see any reason not to. I think most of us are running gravity
systems so you should be fine. Just to be safe I think you should perform a
flow test afterwards. Your plane should be on enough of an up angle sitting
on your railroad. BTW Are you going in the McKellar triathon next week?

Did the builder cheat and run your fuel lines up and over the forward door
posts???? If so I'd keep the pump....if not then go with the KISS system and
as Drew pointed out do a fuel flow test before flight once the pump's out of
the system. Strange he mounted a fuel pump on the firewall when none? on the
engine!!

Home for a day and gone again for a month or so!
