What kind of pump is this, preferred mounting for
dukes type pumps are vertical so if shaft seal leaks fuel does not enter motor.
However my dukes is mounted horizontal on floor under pilot seat for 8 yr 325hr
with no problems.

question
I am using an 0-360 in my Lancair. I bought the back-up
fuel pump for it from Lancair. The plans say to place this fuel
pump on the firewall but others have told me not too. I have been told
to mount the pump under the seat pan in the cockpit.
They say it stays
cooler and actually is less stress on the pump because it uses gravity
slightly to help it suck fuel in to pump out back to the gascolator on the
firewall.
Anybody see any "Bad Idea" in doing
this?
Thanks
Bryan
