Hey George,

 

You meant to indicate a transfer rate of .45 gallons per minute?

 

Both Facet pumps on my Lancair each move fuel at the rate of .57 gallons per minute.  I have a laminated card in my console box which lists transfer rates by minutes and by gallons, so I can easily determine how much fuel to move either by time or by quantity.  I pump from both wing tanks at the same time which helps reduce the need for aileron trim requirements during fuel usage.  So, I am able to move, with both pumps on, 1.14 gallons per minute (2 gallons in 3:30).  I also keep a log of fuel transferred.

 

It is noted that the original Facet pumps that came with the kit transferred fuel at different rates.  I replaced them when I installed the PPAvionics fuel controller at a later date as the controller would not sense the change in the pumps when the tanks were dry.
