fuel pressure
I have a G Skymaster non turbo.
I thought that the electric booste pumps are to aid starting only and not to be used for other flight modes. in over 40 years of ownership I've never used the electric " dukes" pumps for anything else . maybe it's different on other models ???

The use of the electric fuel pump in flight is part of the emergency procedures. It is not normally used other than to start as you noted.
But is does provide enough fuel to operate the engine Last edited by TomM : 10-04-23 at 10:18 AM.

fuel pressure
yes. Tom M . your Skymaster is different to the G model.
we dont have auxiliary tanks. just a very simple two tank system with a facility to select the feed to the engines from either tank. but as we seem to both agree, the auxiliary pumps are only for engine start or restart in the air. not to try sort out low fuel pressures in normal operations. the original contributor was suggesting using the electric pump in an non approved way

Solved
Hello Everyone,
First thanks for all your help. It was infact a bad mechanical fuel pump verified by my AME and the pump is getting rebuilt as we speak. Chris

Fire Sleeve
Make sure you have firesleeve on the main fuel line coming from the gascolator (sp) or the elect boost pump to the fuel pump and the return vapor line to the fuel manifold. I am learning this the hard way. Joe S
