ROTAX 912 FUEL PUMPS

 From the September 2018 issue of Sport Aviation / Experimenter magazine, a look at the Fuel Pumps used on the Rotax 912 engine.

 

In between each LSRM (Light Sport Repairman Maintenance) class, we usually spend a considerable amount of time upgrading our curriculum. For some time now, we have had a desire to rewrite the curriculum surrounding the fuel pumps used on the Rotax 912. For many years the fuel pump issue was a hot topic in class. There had been a significant number of problems related to the mechanical fuel pumps. 


Many of the problems were created by the operators, but a few were obviously related to the design of the fuel pump. As a result, around 2013, Rotax issued service bulletin SB-912-063 (Replacement of fuel pumps). This began the introduction of the 3rd generation of fuel pumps, (part numbers 893114, and 893115).

Gunskirchen, Austria, July 19th, 2021 – BRP-Rotax announced that it will stop the production of the legendary 2-stroke Rotax 582 UL aircraft engine by end of 2021. This decision has been taken considering the nearly full transition of the light and ultralight aircraft market towards 4-stroke aircraft engines.

BRP-Rotax is proud to announce the cooperation with LLS Ltd. from Israel, offering their application frontline.io for service, maintenance, training and sales activities for the worldwide network as well as the coding of a product configuration tool. This step opens up a multitude of advantages building a bridge between the physical world and a variety of possibilities of XR-technologies like AR and VR.
