Product Description
Part Number 18045: 3.5 Brushless Spur Gear Pump featuring a fuel cell pickup and a variable speed controller. It's built with Pro-Series Performance Plus Advanced Technology. This pump is a direct replacement for any Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell, suitable for COPO, Cobra Jet, or Drag Pak race cars. It's also an excellent choice for building a 10 - inch deep custom fuel cell.
Key Features:
- High - performance for fuel - injected engines: Up to 2400 FWHP for naturally aspirated and 1800 FWHP for forced air induction.
- Great for carbureted engines: Up to 2600 FWHP for naturally aspirated and 2000 FWHP for forced air induction.
- E85 Compatible (reduce max FWHP by 30%).
- Lighter than the traditional Pro - Series pump.
- Lower current draw at higher EFI pressures.
- Extended service life in methanol and ethanol.
- New integral spur - gear pumping mechanism.
- Can operate continuously at 90 - PSI and reach a peak pressure of 150 - PSI (base plus boost).
- Comes with an integral, external brushless controller for a clean installation, cooler fuel, and enhanced reliability.
- Equipped with 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.
Flow Ratings: EFI rated flow of 1,250 lbs./hr. at 40 psi, 13.5 volts; Carb rated flow of 1,350 lbs./hr. at 9 psi, 13.5 volts. Aeromotive’s True Variable Speed Controller offers built - in pump speed control via a dedicated 0 - 5V analog DC input signal. It reduces fuel flow during low engine demand and decreases current draw, minimizing motor heat and fuel recycling.
Using your Aeromotive fuel pump is easy. First, make sure it's a suitable replacement for your Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell or for your custom 10 - inch deep fuel cell. Connect it to a straight 12 - VDC to 16 - VDC power supply as it won't work with pulse modulated systems or other fuel pump speed controllers.
When it comes to performance, keep in mind the power ratings for different types of engines. If you're using E85 fuel, reduce the maximum FWHP by 30%.
For maintenance, since it has an extended service life in methanol and ethanol, you don't have to worry too much about the fuel type affecting its lifespan. However, check the integral spur - gear pumping mechanism regularly for any signs of wear. Also, keep an eye on the ORB - 10 outlet port to ensure there are no blockages. The external brushless controller helps keep the fuel cool and the installation clean, so make sure it's in good condition for enhanced reliability.
