“Before, the only option was to go with a mechanical pump when you got that big,” Stacy continues. “So, this will solve a lot of people’s problems that don’t want to go to mechanical, want to leave the fuel cell in the back of the car, and just want to throw a pump on it and go.”
Like its smaller siblings, the pump will support pump gas, E85, methanol, and even nitromethane. It is so versatile that Stacy notes, “it doesn’t care what it pumps . . . I have a smaller version of this pump moving jet fuel for a rocket.”
The 7.5 (left) and 10gpm full-speed flow curves, pressure, and amp draw, shown at both 12- and 13.5-volts.
Externally, the 7.5 and 10.0 pumps have the same appearance as the 5.0-gallon-per-minute pump but are roughly 1/2-inch longer. All of the same componentry was used, but the pump gear is doubled in size (1-inch gear, versus 1/2-inch).
Aeromotive will have both in-tank and external versions of both the 7.5 and 10.0 pumps. Outlet port size will remain the same at ORB-10.
