WilliamR Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 At annual we discovered the fuel pump on my TSIO-360-MB is leaking from the shaft. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I may have missed this when completing my last oil change as staining was found. I understand this is common and obviously needs to be corrected. We were only able to find one place in OK that would overhaul said fuel pump for about $950. The promised turn around time was good. Other TSIO-360 owners, what has been your experience having the pump overhauled? Where did you have it done? What did it cost you? Any recommendations are appreciated. Note, this is a fuel pump on a Conti TSIO-360 engine. So, the pump is not a Weldon or Dukes like that used on the popular Lycoming 360s. Alternatively, we looked to buy an overhauled pump with no luck. Thanks in advance William

Thanks in advance William You totally lost me, in the first paragraph you imply the engine driven Continental fuel pump. but then below you say "Note, this is a fuel pump on a Conti TSIO-360 engine. So, the pump is not a Weldon or Dukes like that used on the popular Lycoming 360s." This latter reference is too the electrical boost pump made by Weldon and Dukes which is also on your aircraft. So which pump is it - electric boost pump or TCM Engine mechanical pump? If its the TCM engine pump, the $950 price is reasonable for an OH. But I would highly recommend using Aircraft accessories in OK. Not to be confused with Quality Aircraft accessories in OK. If yours still doesn't have the steel mixture lever (a SB change) I highly recommend paying the extra ~ $130 to comply with the SB to replace your old brass one. 1
WilliamR Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Posted February 22, 2019 Paul, sorry. You're right, I should have been clearer. I really butchered my thought in the 2nd paragraph. The pump in question is the TCM Engine mechanical pump. Thanks for the direction on AA versus QAA. I will also make sure about compliance with the SB. I think it was done already, but will double check and correct if necessary. Best, William 1
Guest Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 This is the pump in question. Clarence

They are some interesting characters (in a good way) and their quality is top notch. DMax originally referred me to them and I can’t recommend them enough. http://www.aircraftcarbs.com/ Edited February 23, 2019 by 81X 2
xavierde Posted August 12, 2020 Report Posted August 12, 2020 @WilliamR What did you end up doing with the fuel pump? They just found the exact same issue with mine (TSIO-360-MB). Thank you
WilliamR Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Posted August 13, 2020 AA of Oklahoma overhauled it. Looking back in my records, the cost was $850 and shop labor to remove and replace was 3 hours including fuel pressure/flow setup. I seem to remember it was turned around in about a week, two at the most. No problems since. Aircraft Accessories of Oklahoma, Inc. 2740 North Sheridan Road Tulsa, Oklahoma 74115 800-255-9924 William

xavierde Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Thank you. The MSC already got Aircraft Accessories started on it and an exchange should be on the way before the end of next week. This annual is going to be costlier than I thought... Edited August 14, 2020 by xavierde
