Here is a YouTube video (thanks to Bernie Wunder) of the fuel flow test on 12/30/11 after replacing the mechanical VW fuel pump and installing a check valve to permit the Facet electric pump to prime the mechanical pump and perform as a back-up fuel pump. I also fixed the oil leaks at the valve covers. Got the oil temp up to 160 F. Now I have to fix the oil leaks at the oil filter bracket fittings. Mark Jones, I now know how you feel about that. Just listen to the music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YqYaJViIFM&feature=youtu.be After warm-up we made a tail dragger of it to test fuel flow at max angle of attack, full throttle and min fuel. Either pump delivers 21 to 23 gallons per hour; I would never have believed those skinny 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch hoses could deliver that rate at less than 5 psi. That should satisfy the Feds. Both pumps are each rated for 30 gallons per hour free-flow.
