I searched the forum and couldn't find any discussion about this...
I noticed today that my Facet Electric fuel pump (2-3 PSI) was "hot" to the touch after running.
I don't have one of those fancy laser digital jobs so I don't know HOW hot, but too hot to keep my finger on it for more than a sec or two.
Has anyone ever noticed this on theirs?
(Ok mechanical boyz, no smart arse comments!)
I checked the FACET web site and they do say the Operating Temperature Range: -40F to 180F BUT I'm assuming they mean the operating ENVIRONMENT?
Here are some details:
• It was hot here today. 100°
• This was after about a 45 minute run.
• The pump is on a bulkhead. Not engine mounted.
• Racor upstream. Polish filter downstream. (See pic)
• Pump was running normal. No cavitation.
• Full tank of fresh gas.
I didn't have any issues. The engine runs perfect.
I'm just surprised that it can get so hot considering what it's pumping!
Anyway, just wondering if it's normal...
