Product Description
Part Number 18394 features a brushless 3.5 spur gear in-tank fuel pump with a variable speed controller. It's part of the Pro-Series Performance Plus with advanced technology. This pump comes with a universal filter pickup, allowing an overall height adjustment from 10 - 16 inches. For fuel - injected engines, it can handle up to 2400 FWHP for naturally aspirated and 1800 FWHP for forced air induction. For carbureted engines, it can reach up to 2600 FWHP for naturally aspirated and 2000 FWHP for forced air induction. It's E85 compatible, but you need to reduce the max FWHP by 30%. It's lighter than the traditional Pro - Series pump, draws less current at higher EFI pressures, and has an extended service life in methanol and ethanol. It has a new integral spur - gear pumping mechanism, a 90 - PSI continuous operating pressure, and up to 150 - PSI peak pressure. The integral, external brushless controller ensures a clean installation, cooler fuel, and enhanced reliability. It has an ORB - 10 outlet port. It 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. at 40 psi and 13.5 volts, while the carb rated flow is 1,350 lbs./hr. at 9 psi and 13.5 volts. Aeromotive’s True Variable Speed Controller offers 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.
Using this fuel pump is straightforward. First, make sure you have a straight 12 - VDC to 16 - VDC power supply as it won't work with pulse modulated systems or other fuel pump speed controllers. Install the pump in the tank, taking advantage of the universal filter pickup and the adjustable height from 10 to 16 inches. When using with E85 fuel, remember to reduce the max FWHP by 30%. For maintenance, keep an eye on the current draw, especially at higher EFI pressures. Since it has an extended service life in methanol and ethanol, it's suitable for those fuel types. Check the pump's operating pressure regularly, with a continuous pressure of 90 - PSI and a peak of up to 150 - PSI. If you notice any issues with the flow rate (1,250 lbs./hr. for EFI at 40 psi and 13.5 volts, 1,350 lbs./hr. for carb at 9 psi and 13.5 volts), it might be time for a check - up. The integral, external brushless controller should also be inspected for any signs of damage to ensure clean installation, cooler fuel, and reliable performance.
