Product Description
Part Number 18052: 3.5 Brushless 3.5 Spur Gear In-Tank Pump with Variable Speed Controller. Pro-Series Performance Plus Advanced Technology. This pump is a direct drop-in replacement for any Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell, suitable for COPO, Cobra Jet, or Drag Pak race cars. It's also a great choice when building a 10-inch deep custom fuel cell. The Pro-Series offers more than expected performance. For fuel injected engines, it can handle up to 2400 FWHP naturally aspirated and up to 1800 FWHP with forced air induction. For carbureted engines, it supports up to 2600 FWHP naturally aspirated and up to 2000 FWHP with forced air induction. It's E85 compatible (reduce max FWHP by 30%), lighter than the traditional Pro-Series pump, has reduced current draw at higher EFI pressures, extended service life in methanol and ethanol, a new integral spur-gear pumping mechanism, 90-PSI continuous operating pressure and up to 150-PSI peak pressure (base plus boost), an integral external brushless controller for clean installation, cooler fuel, and enhanced reliability. It has an ORB-10 outlet port, requires a straight 12-VDC to 16-VDC power supply, and is not compatible with pulse modulated systems or fuel pump speed controllers. The EFI rated flow is 1,250 lbs./hr. @ 40 psi, 13.5 volts, and the carb rated flow is 1,350 lbs./hr. @ 9 psi, 13.5 volts. Aeromotive’s True Variable Speed Controller provides built-in pump speed control via a dedicated 0-5V analog DC input signal, reducing fuel flow during low engine demand and minimizing motor heat and environmental impact through reduced fuel recycling.
Using this fuel pump is straightforward. First, make sure you have a straight 12-VDC to 16-VDC power supply as it's required for proper operation. It's a direct drop - in replacement for Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cells, so installation should be easy. Just fit it into the appropriate fuel cell. When it comes to the type of engine, note that it performs differently for fuel - injected and carbureted engines. Also, if you're using E85 fuel, remember to reduce the max FWHP by 30%. Avoid using it with pulse modulated systems or fuel pump speed controllers as it's not compatible. For maintenance, since it has an extended service life in methanol and ethanol, you don't need to worry too much about quick wear in these fuels. But keep an eye on the current draw and pressure. If the pressure goes above the specified 90 - PSI continuous or 150 - PSI peak, there might be an issue. Check the power supply regularly to ensure it's within the correct voltage range. And if you notice any unusual noise or reduced performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected.
