Key Features

This fuel pump system incorporates advanced engineering and premium materials to provide superior performance and longevity:

• Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum Manifold: Eliminates porosity issues common with cast aluminum, ensuring a leak-free and durable fuel passage.
• Contoured CNC Machined Manifold Passages: Optimized flow paths reduce pressure drop and minimize flow restrictions for efficient fuel delivery.
• Universal Carbon Steel Mounting Bracket: Heavy-duty bracket included for secure and straightforward installation using supplied hardware.
• Marine Grade Motor: Designed to resist dust intrusion and powerful water jets, enhancing reliability in tough environments.
• Helical Bronze Spur Gears: Bronze gears tolerate contaminants better than steel and operate quieter than straight-cut gears.
• Plug & Play Installation: Includes a harness with Deutsch weather-proof connectors that attach directly to the battery, requiring no cutting or modification of stock fuel lines.
• O.E. Quality Viton Seals: Compatible with diesel and biodiesel fuels, providing excellent chemical resistance and sealing performance.

Construction & Design

The aFe Pro Series Fuel Pump is crafted with precision from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, a material known for its strength and resistance to corrosion. The manifold’s CNC-machined passages are contoured to optimize fuel flow, reducing turbulence and pressure loss. The use of a universal carbon steel mounting bracket ensures a secure fit and durability under vibration and stress.

The motor is built to marine-grade specifications, offering protection against environmental contaminants such as dust and water, which are common challenges in off-road and heavy-duty applications. Helical bronze spur gears provide a quieter and more resilient gear train compared to traditional steel gears, enhancing the pump’s longevity and smooth operation.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward with the included plug-and-play wiring harness that connects directly to the battery using Deutsch weather-proof connectors. This design eliminates the need for cutting or modifying the factory fuel lines, allowing the vehicle to be easily returned to stock if desired. The universal mounting bracket and supplied hardware simplify the mounting process for a secure and professional fit.
