A CL-215 operated by Buffalo Airways, was conducting operations as Tanker 293 from Yellowknife, NT (CYZF) with 2 crew members on board. During the cruise portion of the flight, the left engine (Pratt & Whitney R2800) quit operating. The flight crew performed the actions required by the emergency checklist, and elected to return to CYZF. An uneventful landing was performed.
Subsequent inspection by company maintenance personnel determined that the engine driven fuel pump had failed. The fuel pump was replaced, ground runs were performed and the aircraft was returned to service.
