Priming in FW190 A8/D9

What is this feature. i have never used that in both planes.

I don't know about BMW801 but jumo213 is direct fuel injected, so classical priming doesn't make any sense here

The D9 has a priming pump regardless. Left console towards the rear. I usually give her about 10 pushes just because.

 

Unless priming pump is injecting something different then standard fuel maybe some highly explosive for example mercury fulminate :P

I don't know what it injects into the manifold, but AFAIK the real thing had one as well. Ether?

 

Probably right, something flammable and volatile :)

Maybe it's simply to pressurise the fuel lines?

 

IIRC the correct sequence is to switch on the fuel pumps to pressurize the feeder lines first, then push the handpump 10 times in order to inject fuel into the manifold. So I don't think it's that.

Well, DB engines were fuel injected as well, but we've got good old priming pump in the 109 too, don't we? There must have been some reason for that.
