James Detenbeck inquired about the Facet pumps which came with his kit...
these pumps are provided as transfer pumps only, to move fuel from the wing
tanks into the header tank.  Since the engine installation isn't inlcuded
as part of the kit, and since the factory has no way of knowing whether
you'll be installing a carbureted or fuel injected engine, the choice of
fuel pump / boost pump (firewall forward) is up to the builder.  The
factory has an optional Dukes pump that will provide the required 5-6psi
for carbureted engines as well as the higher pressure pump required for
fuel injection.  The Facet pumps will work just fine as transfer pumps.
