Frans,
I have an album about the Billet Pump on my Europa Owners Gallery.
I have not completed the installation yet as I'm in India for the month of May.
I'll get back to it once I return home.
It looks like an excellent solution for replacing one of the electric pumps with
a mechanical pump. It is supposed to be capable of putting out more fuel at
a higher pressure than both pumps together. It has its own pressure regulator
to provide the necessary pressure to the standard Rotax provided fuel pressure
regulator.
Dan at Billet has been great to work with. I'll let folks know how thing go
once
I get it all installed and running.
As for the fuel injection... Well it could be great. Let us know how it goes
;^}
Check SIx,
Bob Borger
