Hi All
Just a question for the all electric pumps installation - you are flying
happily along when that burning insulation smell starts followed by smoke
seemingly from behind the panel - what do you turn off?
Personally I would just like to kill all the electrics and still have my
engine running.

PS OK so it has not happened yet but that does not mean it won't!

Hi Bob ,David and All.
Many thanks for your reply's, it must have been a good question.
Very interesting on the Alternator wiring and the Battery, I will check it
out,
but not in the air David, I did not build the plane, I have learnt something
here and will post what I find,
Lots of Alternators and spare Battery's required, I much prefer Bobs
mechanical pump and if well insulated should have no heat problem.
All these other options are work arounds and I have no doubt they all work
but one should not have to do all these work arounds and if one buys a
30000 engine it should not be totally dependant on electricity, the pumps
may be OK but if the Alternator fails and lets say an old battery or loose
terminal the engine stops, This does not sound good design to me.
If you have a Vacuum drive generator I take it you have no Vacuum instrument
??,so down to electric only.
I will make do with what I have, just hope its wired Alternator pump,
battery pump, so does mean that if the engine is not running my Number 2
pump will not run as I prim using the number on pump.
Many thanks.
Alan
