Will a ellison run on a C-90 with out having more fuel pressure than from a wing tank.

Re: ellison carburetor

The EFS-3A will but you will need a small header tank a little lower than the carb for any negative stuff. It will do ok on 1/2 psi.

How will it work on the vertical? I think you schould use a fuel pump to do any acro. Either engine or electric, I will try to install an engine driven pump on my project just to be on the safe side.

Eric, Would the ellison run OK on just the fuel pressure a fuselage tank would provide ? (not sure what psi a fuselage tank provides...).

Thanks,

Re: ellison carburetor

It will do fine on the header tank head pressure in normal flight but again- any negative stuff would require a small header lower than the throttle body injector or a little FACET (brand) fuel pump. Easiest install is this little FACET fuel pump.
($100) with a small 12v battery- turn it on when you fly acro, off when you don't. The entire system is less than 2 pounds plus fuel flows through it- it can not stop the flow in any failure mode.

Thomas- I seem to remember that 14" = 1 psi. Anyone else check my math?
