Hi Ferg

> I read a message less than a week ago from one of us, stating that
the fuel pump (a FACET part no. 40108 in the Aircraft Spruce catalog) needed
to be mount6ed at 45deg to the horizontal. I had read that somewhere else
but cannot find either reference and beg to know if this is so.<


Both my Facet pumps are mounted on their side horizontally (ie the flange
face vertical with both inlet and outlet at the same level). The system
works fine. I think it is more of a problem should the pumps be mounted
above fuel level where they have to suck fuel upwards. This should not be an
issue in most Europa installations.
