Facet pump

A number of the builders on the CorvairListServe use Facet pumps in their installations. One of the issues that needs to be checked is whether the pump has a check valve or not. An important feature is when turned off, there should be no forward flow of fuel. In some instances, it may be necessary to install more than one pump - an not necessarily both facet pumps - in series to obtain the correct fuel pressures for the type of carburettor used at all throttle settings. The page listing below has pumps for 12 volt applications and also 24 volt applications.

Facet provides this information about their pumps on their website:

• Fuel Compatibility - All models of the Facet Cube Fuel Pumps are compatible with gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, blended alcohol fuels and fuel additives.
• Solid State Reliability - Proven on thousands of original equipment applications. No electrical contacts. No bearings or diaphragms to wear out or fatigue. Lasts four to five times longer than many other electric fuel pumps.
• Easy to Install - Two-bolt installation plus the small size makes installation easy. For best results, mount the pump close to the fluid or fuel tank and below the liquid level.
• Eliminates Vapor Lock - When properly installed on most vehicles a constant, smooth, dependable supply of fuel under pressure is assured in the hottest weather or in high altitudes.
