Aeromotive A1000

[J.R. Adkins]

Who is running this pump? How do you have it set up? Do you like it? How long have you had it? What kind of pressures do you see? What size lines are you using?







Thanks

J. R.

Thanks Shovel, I found that after I started this thread. I have it on good source that this is the pump that I need. I have sent e-mails to them annd they are on vacation!!

I tried the Aeromotive Street Rod pump. It sucked. I tried 2, both ****** diesel out the motor seal within 30 seconds. The first one the internal regulator was stuck, instant 40 psi! The 2nd one I added the regulator, (which I don't feel I should have needed if the pump is internal bypassed at 14psi) but it ****** fuel as well.



Sent everything back and bought a Cummins pump

I"ve called and talked to Areomotive about their pumps for are application and they did not recomend their pumps for diesel fuel.

I once sent and e-mail to Holley about using one of their pumps for our aplication, and they sent back a responce that their pumps will not work with diesel. WeirCummins(Dean) is just ONE person I will name that is having great luck with the "Black" Holley pump. I know of one that is on a "soon-to-be" 11 second truck that works well obviously. Just letting you know how clueless some of these guys are about their own pumps.

OK! I need a pump that will flow over 500 GPH @ 40 + psi. Yea thats right. I need to make more calls!!

Can I ask why you are asking for electric fuel pump info?

Is this for your truck?



I ran into this problem over a year ago. I finally did enough testing to show that my stock pump wouldn't move enough fuel volume to maintain pressure under WOT.



So far, I'm the only person to have ever had that problem though, that's why I asked. With only 1-3 psi of fuel pressure (my case) feeding your pump, the barrels don't have time to fill properly. Installing an injector pump camshaft ground for more fill time doesn't help if you don't have some pressure pushing the fuel in.



I tried enlarging all the banjo fittings. I tried a high flow fuel filter. I played with the overflow valves and even tried a new stock pump. In the end, there just wasn't enough volume to keep up.





I didn't want to add a pusher pump because the fuel heater leaks under pressure. I didn't want to give up the reliability of my stock mechanical pump and I also didn't want to give up my fuel heater for winter temperatures.



I decided to add an auxillary fuel pump with its own suction directly from the tank and feed it in at the banjo fitting on the P7100.



The aeromotive pump quickly caught my eyes, but I was cheap and passed because of price. I used a holley electric pump, but found one used in fuel injected cars because it is designed to run at 50 psi all day. Most high flow electric pumps aren't designed for the pressures we need.



Under normal conditions (pump off), I still have all the benefits of the stock system (reliability, heater, etc. ), but once I turn the pump on, the pressure never drops below 40 psi.



Problem solved.



To answer your question though, I believe Chris Sutton has been running the aeromotive pump for quite some time on his truck. But being a 24 valver, he has different pressure requirements than your truck does.



If my current pump ever has problems, I'll step up to the aeromotive.

By the way,



750 cc's per thousand strokes @ 4000 rpm uses 4. 75 GPM or

285 GPH.

[J.R. Adkins]

Thanks Chris. Yes I have a MAJOR fueling problem! It starts off nice and black and turns grey quickly!



I'm waiting on some responses from some phone calls and e-mails and I will know witch way to go.



Thanks for all the replies, the TDR is great!

Great post Chris!!



by the way, have I told you your my hero latly?!

The pump Chris Sutton uses is the AEI-11101. Not the same pump, this one comes from the factory preset@45psi. You'll need to run it with a regulator and turn it down to about 30psi for your injection pump.

I put one on my truck and so far so good. Chris has had his for awhile with no complaints.

As for me, I run 30 psi at idle and 30 psi WOT. -10 lines from the tank to the p-pump. enlarged -10 lines in the fuel tank.

Had a long talk with all the electric pump guys before buying this one. Called nearly all the manufacturers. Seems every electric pump with the exception of this one is not recommended for daily driving! Holley, Mallory, Summitt, all of them are not designed to stay on for more than 10 minutes at a time. If you do it will cause premature pump failure. If you go for a drive more then 10 minutes, you've overworked the pump!!All those Mallory 4140's failing, that's why. This aeromotive pump is the only one designed for long term use in a daily driver and built to sustain high hp. Its pricey, around $289. 00 last I looked and the regulator was $129. 00 from Summitt. Then there's the price of the large lines yada yada yada.

I think Chris has ran his for nearly 1 1/2 to 2 years. I've been running mine for about 6months. With all that pressure and those large lines it supplies plenty of fuel to the injection pump.

We refer to this pump as "the red log". Even Piers was calling it that before I left from Canada.

Good luck, J. R. !!

Thanks David! Soon, very soon!!

Why just run one pump??



I would say if your going full blown crazy with your fueling (which I know you have )

Then go crazy and do something no one else does!!

2 Tanks 2 pumps!!



Just a suggestion.

If that was the case, why not get one of those 12 cylinder pumps, what is it, a P-8100?

Towpro,



I recently went through the same thing. I bought the Street Rod pump, and it puked fuel immediately. Aero sent me a replecement, and it lasted an hour before it began only seeping. I lived with the seep, then after two weeks the pump locked up on me on the highway. All this less than one month! They're giving me my $$ back.

Their tech support told me the pumps were fine for runnig diesel. Well I don't want anything to do with them now.



Off to another fuel sys project.

JR,



I would give Product Engineering a serious consideration. I'm running their PE 4200 and have nothing but good things to say about it. You've seen my truck, and I can't get the gauge to move off 16 psi with this pump. If you think you need more than that (The 4200 is 270 gph) then step up to the 4400. It pushes 460 gph and can be adjusted up to 43psi. I believe all the pumps have a 2 year warranty (the 4200 does at least), and the folks at PE have guaranteed the pump to work in our trucks. Here's the link to the 4400:
