The field elevation was 1300 feet=20 and it was close to 90=B0. The density altitude was about 3000 feet for= the=20 day.

Today I returned to the field=20 tools in hand to carry out a rescue. Surprisingly the electric fuel pump= =20 worked!? Why?

I was able to fly the aircraft=20 home.

I concerned about flying the=20 aircraft until this issue is diagnosed and=20 resolved.

Does anybody have an=20 answer?
