What do you guys think of adding an electric fuel pump for the 912S ?

Dennis,
I added a Facet in-line pump (see pic) just because I am anal about fuel systems, - don't know if I really need it or if it will even work! (too much restriction in the fuel line, etc) The intent would be to make sure that I didn't need it for "normal operation" and I'd only switch it on when it seemed like a good idea (take-off, landing, loss of engine pump, etc.).
The only caution for a Rotax 912 installation, is make sure the pump output pressure is low. I think 5 psi is max. allowed on Rotax carbs.
I don't have motor yet, so all is unverified.

I think that I will get a fuel pump. It does have a low restriction on psi. I will mount it on the firewall engine side. I think folks have just left it on all the time. Anyone have any problems doing this?
