Fuel pumps & pressure

[Matteh]

the fuel pump on the 172 mk1 failed on the way home from FCS

it's a mk1 ph1 effort, so 1.2 bar i think - is this adequate for a 172?


also, does anyone know what the ph1 172 fuel rail runs at? - just wondering if my performance issues could be down to a weak fuel supply?!

they should both be 3bar. Ive got a williams one i can sell u.

 

[Matteh]

give u a fiver?

is there any difference between a laguna f4r fuel rail with the FPR on it and the 172 one? - wanna ditch my bodged mk1 unit

Couldnt say for sure, but probably not. A whole fiver?

 

[Matteh]

yep, a *whole* fiver

its disputable whether a 'whole' fiver is best.

Sometimes its better broken up and stored (in its various parts) in different places. Best is when you forget where you have stored one or more of the parts of which could otherwise be a 'whole' fiver, and find it by accident.

Also, lets not forget the well known 'egg in one basket' proverb.
