• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Ok, so an electrician I am not!

I'm adding a Facet fuel pump to my Acro II, and looking at switches, indicators and circuit breakers. In researching the Facet site, they say "All Facet low pressure fuel pumps 12v or 24v require an 5 Amps source to perform correctly. The DC average is 1.4 amps" Then it says
"What size fuse should I use to install the Facet fuel pump?

We recommend you install a 3AMP fuse to every installation."

I'm confused, if it requires a 5 amp source, then suggests a 3 amp fuse, this doesn't make sense to me. So what size circuit breaker do I want?
