Fuel pump as condensate pump - experiences

Post by dampfspieler »

Hi,

in a new project i want to use a DELCO fuel pump as condensate pump, like done at the plants of STUART Cygnet or Swan. Are there any experiences with that configuration?

Regards

I remember reading about these kind of installations in the 1990s in Steamboating.... there's some more recent discussion here if you have facebook:
