Facet Cube electronic fuel pump
r1_pete - 21/12/09 at 12:59 PM

Is anyone running one of these facet cube electronic fuel pumps? does it shut off when the fuel system is full and up to pressure?

Mine just keeps making the pumping sound, even if I block the output line.

Wondering if its faulty, anyone with any experience of them? Rescued attachment Facet1.jpg

It will keep hammering away, although they do tend to go a lot queiter if they are under load...

You need to make sure you have the correct pressure rated pump...

Yep they pump away all the time

They all sound like a jackhammer, all the time.... Rubber mountings help a little bit, but you can't really hear it once the engine is running.

yes they keep pumping all the time!

Don't try and use it to lift fuel they should be gravity fed so to speak (lower than the tank) I knackered mine like that!!

whats the difference between these and the interrupter pump? does the interupter pump stop when its up to pressure?

Thanks for the replies chaps, its in the hatch area of my car and it can be heard all the time, really anoying.

Its getting junked and replaced with an Electronic diaphragm interrupter and regulator, cant put up with that racket in my right ear.

The facet instruction say they should be mounted at 45degrees and that the highest point of the pump should be less than 300mm above the tank outlet
