Part Number 18395: Brushless 5.0 Spur Gear In-Tank Fuel Pump with Variable Speed ControllerThis pump offers ground-shaking performance with advanced technology. It comes with a universal filter pickup and allows for an overall height adjustment from 10 - 16 inches.
- It supports different types of engines:
- Fuel injected engines: Up to 3400 FWHP for naturally aspirated and up to 2600 FWHP for forced air induction.
- Carbureted engines: Up to 3600 FWHP for naturally aspirated and up to 2700 FWHP for forced air induction.
- It's E85 compatible, but you need to reduce the max FWHP by 30%.
- Lighter than traditional Pro - Series pumps.
- Draws less current at higher EFI pressures.
- Has an extended service life in methanol and ethanol.
- Features a new integral spur - gear pumping mechanism.
- Can operate continuously at 90 - PSI and reach a peak pressure of up to 150 - PSI (base plus boost).
- Comes with an integral, external brushless controller for a clean installation, cooler fuel, and enhanced reliability.
- Has an ORB - 10 outlet port.
- Requires a straight 12 - VDC to 16 - VDC power supply.
- Not compatible with pulse modulated systems or fuel pump speed controllers.
The EFI rated flow is 1,700 lbs./hr. at 40 psi and 13.5 volts, and the carb rated flow is 1,850 lbs./hr. at 9 psi and 13.5 volts. Aeromotive’s True Variable Speed Controller provides built - in pump speed control via a dedicated 0 - 5V analog DC input signal. It reduces fuel flow during low engine demand and further decreases the already low current draw, minimizing motor heat and environmental impact through reduced fuel recycling.
Using the Aeromotive fuel pump is straightforward. First, make sure to install it with the universal filter pickup and adjust the overall height between 10 and 16 inches according to your needs. Connect it to a straight 12 - VDC to 16 - VDC power supply. When it comes to engines, if you have a fuel - injected engine, know its FWHP limits based on whether it's naturally aspirated or has forced air induction. The same goes for carbureted engines. If you're using E85 fuel, remember to reduce the max FWHP by 30%. Don't try to use this pump with pulse - modulated systems or other fuel pump speed controllers as it's not compatible. Maintenance is key to keep it running well. Since it has an extended service life in methanol and ethanol, it's suitable for those fuel types. But regularly check the pump and the integral, external brushless controller for any signs of wear or damage. Keep an eye on the current draw, especially at higher EFI pressures, to ensure it's working efficiently.
