I just received my new canadian C of A for my imported N908KC. During an extensive 8 month inspection I got to know the ac quite well and found the fuel system questionable.
The "down hill " feed is TANK to SELECTOR to FACET FUEL PUMP to GASCOLATOR to MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP to CARB. I would have preferred the fuel pump and mechanical pump in parallel , not in series.
During the inspection I changed the elec fuel pump due poor wiring and installed a new facet from ACS. The new Facet gold pump passed a fuel flow test easily .
On my second flight after receiving my permit the o540 quit 20 seconds after turning off the electric pump. After landing during a runup it would quit after selecting pump off ,and with power at 2000rpm.
There is no reason to suspect the engine driven pump - I ferried it 1500 miles without a problem .
PS glad I leave turning the elec pump off till cruise.
