Little_D Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi gents, i had yeasterday a nice suprising DM in the 109. I had to run from a P-51 and got some long range hits from the .50. After some seconds my engin starts to stutter and i saw my fuel pressure drops down to 0. I was flying on max power with MW50. As soon i reduce the throttle back to only ATA 1.45, my fuel pressure starts raising again and the engin run mormal. After i go to full power with MW50 again, the fuel pressure starts to fall again, at ATA 1.45 or less all fine again. Looks like 1 fuelpump can handle ATA 1.45 but you need both to give the engin max. fuel at full power with MW50.

Kurfürst Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 IIRC either of the fuel pumps can handle the full fuel delivery, you have two as a sort of backup / redundancy.
