Key Features

Built with precision and durability in mind, the aFe PRO Fuel Pump incorporates advanced engineering features to maximize fuel flow and longevity:

• Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum Manifold: Crafted from high-grade billet aluminum to eliminate porosity issues common with cast aluminum manifolds, ensuring a leak-free and robust fuel path.
• Contoured CNC Machined Passages: Manifold passages are precisely contoured through CNC machining to optimize fuel flow and reduce pressure drops caused by flow restrictions.
• Universal Carbon Steel Mounting Bracket: Heavy-duty bracket included for secure installation using supplied hardware, providing a stable and vibration-resistant mount.
• Marine Grade Motor: Designed to withstand harsh environments, this motor is protected against dust intrusion and powerful water jets for enhanced durability.
• Helical Bronze Spur Gears: Bronze gears offer greater tolerance to contaminants compared to steel gears, while the helical design ensures quieter operation than traditional straight-cut gears.
• Plug & Play Installation: Comes with a harness that connects directly to the battery using Deutsch weather-proof connectors, requiring no cutting or modification of stock fuel lines.
• O.E Quality Viton Seals: Compatible with both diesel and biodiesel fuels, providing excellent chemical resistance and long service life.

Construction & Design

The aFe PRO Fuel Pump is engineered with premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The manifold is machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, a material known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand high pressures without porosity issues. CNC machining ensures smooth, contoured fuel passages that minimize turbulence and pressure loss, promoting efficient fuel delivery.

The motor features a marine-grade design, offering superior protection against environmental contaminants such as dust and water, which is critical for maintaining pump longevity in demanding conditions. The use of helical bronze spur gears not only enhances durability but also reduces operational noise, contributing to a quieter running fuel system.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the aFe PRO Fuel Pump is straightforward and designed to be user-friendly. The supplied universal carbon steel mounting bracket and hardware allow for a secure fitment without the need for custom modifications. The included wiring harness utilizes Deutsch weather-proof connectors that plug directly into the battery, eliminating the need to cut or alter factory fuel lines. This plug-and-play design ensures the vehicle can be easily returned to stock if desired.

This fuel pump is specifically engineered to fit the 2014–2018 Ram 1500 models equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine, guaranteeing precise compatibility and optimal performance.
