Facet fuel pump questions

There's a lot of not-necessarily-correct information out there on the Facet pumps, which one to buy, what are its features, etc. especially from the auto parts "salesmen" who only have their computer for info, usually.

A list of the available "cube" Facet pumps can be found at http://facet-purolator.com/cube-fuel-pumps.php. There are quite a few. and included are a couple of 12v pumps with only 1.0 - 2.0 psi pressure or thereabouts, which I think ought to be ideal for the ST1100 carbs. You should be aware that Facet specifies a filter before the pump to protect it's function.

If you're planning to buy one, about the best offering I've found is at Aircraft Spruce & Specialty. If there's one you want that they don't stock, they will order it for you, they told me.

The round black plastic pumps are Purolator brand, and are a different animal altogether, with their own set of specifications. Google them to see.

Hope this helps. Dennis.

Yes this is the chart I used to select the 40178 Facet pump. The 40177 would also be fine I think. In my area most marine supply houses carry Facet pumps as they are commonly used in boats as well.
