Facet Cube electronic fuel pump
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?

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...

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.

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!!

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
