Electric fuel "interupter" pumps on PA24
My original (I think) Bendix pumps each need 2:15 to put out a gallon. Looking for new pumps -- Need a Facet part no. that is
the proper replacement pump and legal for certified airplane. Or do I need to replace pumps that are functioning well
except for slightly short flow rate? Aircraft Spruce lists several Facet pumps but no mention of PMA or sub for the Bendix.

If you look carefully at the pump mounting flange, you will usually find the part number stamped into the metal.

Re: Electric fuel "interupter" pumps on PA24
The pumps on the airplane are Bendix with a Bendix part no. Facet makes several models of interrupter pumps. I would like a Facet
part number to replace the Bendix pumps. Aircraft Spruce lists several Facet pumps no cross reference with Bendix, nor do they say
the Facet pumps are approved for a certified airplane. I have seen a Facet ad that indicates the pumps are for cars or tractors or ??.
