Product Description
The Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Controller (FPSC) is a must - have for any vehicle's fuel pump. It effectively minimizes fuel heating and vapor - lock issues by precisely matching the fuel pump's duty cycle to the engine RPM. When the engine is under low demand, the FPSC slows down the fuel pump, significantly reducing the risk of suction side cavitation and vapor lock. Once the demand rises, it immediately restores the fuel pump to 100% duty cycle for maximum fuel flow, just like an automatic transmission for your fuel pump.
LED indicators on the FPSC offer clear feedback. They confirm the correct hookup of the ignition signal, verify the activation of the manual override circuit, and show when the circuit provides full voltage to the pump. Unlike some devices that reduce voltage to the fuel pump (which can destroy a 12V DC motor), the Aeromotive FPSC emits a pulse modulation signal that's harmless to the pump's motor.
It features a solid - state transistor circuit rated up to 40 amps, replacing the relays commonly used in most fuel pump electrical circuits. The full - speed RPM threshold is adjustable to suit different needs. The housing is made of billet 6061 - T651 aircraft aluminum, protected with a beautiful bright dip black anodized finish.
The complete installation kit includes wire, an override toggle switch, installation hardware, and instructions. You can view the installation instructions and download the instructions for Part Number 16302 (gen1 FPSC).
Using the Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Controller is straightforward. First, refer to the installation kit's instructions to install the controller. Make sure to correctly hook up the ignition signal as indicated by the LED indicators. If you need to use the manual override circuit, check the LED to confirm its activation.
When it comes to normal operation, the controller will automatically adjust the fuel pump's speed according to the engine RPM. You can adjust the full - speed RPM threshold to meet your vehicle's specific requirements.
As for maintenance, keep the billet aluminum housing clean. Avoid exposing the controller to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. If you notice any issues with the LED indicators or the fuel pump's performance, refer to the installation instructions or contact customer support. And remember, never use a device that reduces voltage to the fuel pump as it can damage the motor, but the Aeromotive FPSC is designed to be safe for the pump's motor.
