PRI 2019: Aeromotive Reveals New 7.5 & 10 GPM Variable-Speed Pumps
By
Andrew Wolf December 12, 2019To much fanfare,
Aeromotive Fuel Systems has gone big at this year’s Performance Racing Industry show!
Aiming to satisfy the ever-more-powerful needs of street and strip applications, the Lenexa, Kansas-based manufacturer developed larger 7.5- and 10-gallon-per-minute versions of its electric, variable-speed, Brushless Stealth fuel pumps — spur-gear mechanical pumps that are attached to an electric brushless motor. These build upon the capabilities of the existing 3.5- and 5-gallon-per-minute Brushless Stealth pumps.
“We’ve had a 5gpm pump in our lineup, but for a lot of racers, it isn’t big enough,” Aeromotive’s Jeff Stacy begins. “The 10gpm pump, on E85, will support every bit of 3,500 horsepower. We made it variable speed, so there’s a multitude of ways to trigger the pump to slow itself down for street driving, that way it’s not recirculating the fuel tank or the fuel cell every minute. We’re really gearing it toward Drag Week-style racers — those cars running 7.50s to mid-eights, for example, that want to drive on the street.”
