I was wondering if anyone had run the aeromotive fuel pump in this configuration versus having to put a sump on you stock tank?




It would be like this but not the bosch pump, the aeromotive in place of the bosch. I took this pics from the oldone.com

 

as long as the pump has enough "pull" strength it should beokay pumps just like fans are pullers, and pushers

 

BUMP anyone else have some input?

 

I would run the pump outside of the fuel tank.. I dont like having a fuel pump inside the tank unless honda put it there, and even at that I still dont like it..

 

no the pump is not mounted in the tank the pic just shows it being mounted on the outside of the tank.

 

Ohh... I see.. Then it should work fine.. The aeromotive pump have plenty of power to pull the fuel up and through the hose to itself..

 

The bosch are pull type pump, therefore you can run them the way Endyn had described.

Aeromotive is a gravity fed pump, it is essentially a push type and only pushes what is on the inlet end of the pump, so that will not work efficiently. You'll end up overworking the pump and eventually burning it prematurely.

We're a distributor for Aeromotive and Endyn (Bosch) and this is what I was told by two sources

Thats very simmular to how mine is set up.. Works great..

Mike...

 

how much does a bosch external pump cost????

 

That's almost exactly how I have my Aeromotive plumbed. It works, but the pump doesn't sound happy. Especially when the tank is low and when I first turn it on. I don't have time to properly sump my tank, so I'll probably end up running it this way through the end of the season.

What about running another in-tank pump with the aeromotive.. Since your decreasing pressure between the 2 pumps the in-tank will flow alot and the aeromotive will build the pressure and flow to the engine..

 

I would think with doing that the other pump would restrict the full potential of the areomotive pump!

 

I do believe Full-Race Geaoff has his pump set up like this, I know he had 2 Aeromotive pumps go bad on him but now has a Paxton pump with no probs at all and also drove from NJ to AZ with no probs.

 

Dont use a aeromotive/sx pump that way. I learned if the hard way. I just blew my motor (2300 miles after it being built). My sx pump went bad and kept driving/boosting the car. I'm looking for the bosch pump now.

Flamenco-t, you have IM.

They are $ 279 each. The inlets and outlets have metric fitting which you can use AN adapter if you wish.

Give me a call or email me if interested.

Imagine trying to feed a fire hydrant hose with a small garden hose....

if the walbro runs 50 gph and the aeromotive push 70 gph, it won't take very long for the aeromotive to run out of fuel to push through.

This is just illustration purpose as far as the numbers goes..

Right but those numbers are at a certant line pressure.. If the line pressure between the 2 pumps is like 5-10 psi then the walbro is going to flow more than 50 gph.. This is my thinking, let me know what you think here..

 

thats exactly how i run mine...... with a bosch pump too.......

 

whats wrong with a walbro 255

 

If you are running a aeromotive pump you need to make sure that the inlet line and filter( if you have one) are not to restrictive it should be a -10 line minimum any smaller and the pump will cavitate and will fail over time . sucking fuel threw the stock fuel fittings is not the way to do it you should have a sump or -10 lines from the tank to the pump . aeromotive also makes a check valve that keeps the fuel from flowing back into the tank when the pump is off . it helps to keep the pump from starting dry every time you start your car .
