Pattern Altitude
The Facts: 1968 Cardinal, O-320 150 hp with mogas STC, Temp about 30F after 20s overnight.
Yesterday I cancelled a flight after turning on the master, then the Aux Fuel pump; it clicked a couple times then stopped. The pressure gage went up to 8 the to 0. I checked the circuit breaker and it was in. I put the plane away and drove to my meeting instead.
There was no water when I sumped the tanks but it could have gotten into the pump which is at the bottom of the system and frozen.
I'm wondering if when I go back when it is warmer, can I expect different results or should I be looking for a new pump?
