FAQs

What is the maximum horsepower this fuel pump can support?

The AEM 380lph fuel pump supports up to 1200 HP for naturally aspirated applications and 860 HP at 30 psi boost for forced induction applications.

Can this pump be installed in-tank?

Yes, this pump can be installed in-tank, but requires optional hardware which is sold separately.

What type of fuel is this pump designed for?

The pump is primarily designed for use with gasoline. It can be used with alcohol fuels, but this may affect its lifespan.

What are the inlet and outlet port sizes?

It features a -10 AN female inlet and a -6 AN female outlet.

Does the kit include all necessary fittings for installation?

The kit includes the fuel pump, a -6 to -8 male AN discharge fitting with a check valve, terminal nuts & boots, and instructions. Optional hardware for in-tank installation is sold separately.

What are the flow rates at different pressures?

It flows 380 lph (100 gph) at 43 PSI, 340 lph (90 gph) at 73 PSI, and 270 lph (71 gph) at 120 PSI.

Is this pump a direct replacement for the '044' style pump?

The pump utilizes the standard "044 style" envelope, making installation on new applications and replacement of existing competitor fuel pumps straightforward due to its similar form factor and connection types.

Troubleshooting

Fuel pump not priming or running.

Check electrical connections for secure attachment and correct polarity. Verify that the pump is receiving adequate voltage and ground. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel.

Low fuel pressure or inconsistent flow.

Inspect fuel lines for kinks or restrictions. Check the fuel filter for blockages. Verify that all fittings are tightened properly and not leaking. Confirm the pump is correctly oriented if installed externally.

Pump making unusual noises.

This could indicate a lack of fuel or a restriction. Check fuel level and ensure the pump is fully submerged or primed. Inspect for debris in the fuel pickup or lines.

Reduced flow rate over time.

The fuel filter may be clogged. If using alcohol fuels, the pump's lifespan may be reduced; consider inspection or replacement. Ensure the pump is not overheating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high horsepower naturally aspirated and forced induction applications.
  • Offers flexible installation options (external or in-tank).
  • Uses standard "044 style" fittings for easier integration.
  • High flow rate suitable for performance EFI vehicles.
  • Includes essential fittings like a discharge fitting with a check valve.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for gasoline; alcohol fuel use may reduce lifespan.
  • Optional hardware required for in-tank installation is sold separately.
  • Requires proper installation by a qualified professional to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Installation Location: Decide whether to mount the pump externally or in-tank. In-tank mounting requires optional hardware (sold separately).
  2. Connect Lines: Utilize the -10 AN female inlet and -6 AN female outlet connections. Ensure all fittings are securely tightened to prevent leaks.
  3. Wiring: Connect the pump according to the included instructions, paying attention to polarity and appropriate gauge wiring for the current draw.
  4. Priming: Before initial startup, prime the fuel system to ensure the pump is filled with fuel and operating correctly.

Compatibility:

  • Fuel Type: Primarily designed for gasoline. While compatible with alcohol fuels (like ethanol blends), prolonged use may decrease the pump's lifespan. Modifications to fuel lines and seals may be necessary for optimal alcohol compatibility.
  • EFI Systems: Designed for Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems.
  • Mounting: Compatible with "044 style" envelopes. Use optional hardware for in-tank installation. The included discharge fitting converts from -6 AN to -8 AN.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect fuel lines and connections for any signs of leaks or damage.
  • If used with alcohol fuels, monitor pump performance closely and consider more frequent replacement.
  • Ensure the fuel filter is clean and free of debris to prevent strain on the pump.
