  • Fuel Pump HELP !!!!!

    Hi Guys,

    Does anybody know of a good electric fuel pump for a flight box? I can't seem to successfully get one too last more than a month or so.

    Thanks in advance.

    the kavan pumps work well
    the ripoffmax ones are c**p

    the best ones to use are whatever the turbine boys n gals are using

        Slimline pump matt

        Quite hard to source in the uk last time I looked?

        Fast lads did have them in stock.

        Great pump , just screw onto your fuel bottle & use an old tired 3s to power

        Last for months on a charge

        A bit expensive but I think this will last you years

        Hope this helps

          Mattie .. I have one thats been going strong for over 3 years ... It still works now , had to re-solder the wires back on and it leaked a little till I sealed it again .. All in all can't fault the thing ... Will try and find out the make as I got it from LHS

            Had the same problem in the past, but my current one seems to be holding up... When i need to replace i'll be getting this one:

            Sullivan 12v Fuel Pump

            If its built the same way as the Dynatron then it will probably last a lifetime!

                        I dont think you will need any Forks if you get the Sullivan pump Matt!

                        FL is the only place i have seen them for sale in recent times...
