Time to overhaul or replace the aux tank transfer pumps on my M5. Haven’t found any sources for overhaul, including my favorite, Airparts of Lock Haven.
A/C Spruce sells the matching part number 480545 with an alternate part number of40131E. However, they are listed as not FAA approved and have markings on the pump, “not for aircraft use”. Doing this on annual and doubt my IA will go for that. I have an email out to Maule but haven’t received a reply yet.

Not that I can help with the answer to the question, but I would call Maule parts, it can sometimes take awhile to get an email back. If you get Kasey on the phone she can help you right away.

Re: Aux transfer pumps
And what was the solution? Do they have some that are NOT marked “Not for Aircraft Use”?

Re: Aux transfer pumps
Years ago I installed aux tanks with a kit from the factory. On the Facet pumps in the kit were labels stating "for automotive use only". I suppose it is a way for Facet to limit liability.

Re: Aux transfer pumps
Hey Kirk,
I kept an eye out for you at Sun N Fun this year:)
I got two new aux tank pumps installed at Maule Flight in 2008 for our M5. It was part # 1184-00-3. I can’t make out the price on the old invoice, about $200 each if I recall.

Re: Aux transfer pumps
Update. Received both pumps from Maule at $225 each. They came without the “automotive only” stickers and have a Maule Air inc sticker with part number. Same as the old pumps, which I believe were original to 1977 manufacture.
Great experience dealing with Maule Air, Kasey in parts department. 1 pump was in stock,shipped next day. The other not in stock and shipped within 3 days.
