Aeromotive pump and plumbing info

[csutton7]

this is for all you guys looking to use the monster Aeromotive pump-----



My Aeromotive setup is like this--I shot a hole in the bottom of the tank used a 90* -10AN bulkhead fitting(cutoff some and chamfered the inside, put a screen in the chamfer for filtering), used a -10AN shutoff and ran -10AN thru an Aeromotive cylindrical filter(can't remember the #) and then to the Aeromotive bad boy pump--ran -08AN to the RACOR filter, -08AN sender port post filter, -08AN to a Tee(one leg to VP44 reduced down to -06AN at VP44(soon to be -08 at the VP44) and other leg -08AN to the Aeromotive regulator)--the -08AN return line goes back and ties into the tank fill overflow tube with a tee----it's been going strong for 7 months now with a lot of stop and go, off and on city driving which is tuff on pumps... . pressure is 15-18 psi idling(need to set the SPA guage to take readings less frequent), 13-15psi driving and never seen it below 11psi---it's a hog and if it will last I'll be extrememly happy--'ell I'm happy now as it has outlasted all my other pumps by 6 months---I took some pics and will post them this weekend if I get the time..... chris

Thanks Chris, good info and I hope you found the one that will last !!! The -8AN Webers are coming ??? Count me in for 3 when they arrive. Looking forward to the pics.



Hmmm, is it possible to make a -8AN Weber from some elk antler, seems that you have a kings share of that lying around the house

Hey chris how loud is that badboy in the cab. I have a paxton granitelli series that looks identical to the aeromotive, on the ol farfergnugen and it sounds like a stinkin weed eater on nitrous. After having the stupid summit pump in my truck for 2 weeks (only to have it start puking diesel out of everywhere) i am paranoid about noise. that thing sucked.

 

[csutton7]

well I got some help on my one and only -8AN fitting from Rubberneck and another TDR member--one shop did one part and good ol' Rubberneck finished it for me(thanks Phil)---the original shop basically wouldn't/couldn't get their act together to make them---after they promised for 6mos. ----I need to get back on the ball on this------



elk antler==LMAO==but maybe your on to something there



Phil--you can hear it, but it is no where close to that Summitt IMHO--in fact I'd say it's hardly noticeable--little hum is all you hear and you need to concentrate on hearing it---you can surely hear it when it's first turned on but after the truck is running it's not bad... ... . chris

you guys know its just a valve thing



loose 12 and you could be just like me



hood always up he he he he



seriously though did the aero have a cavitation port like the other FI mallory????????

oh and will an aero run without a bottom tap of the tank

 

[csutton7]

no cavitation port and I don't know about the ability of this pump without gravity feed----what I'd really like is a bigger aluminum tank with gravity feed---can you say modified Transfer Flow... . the gravity feed off our plastic tanks or others will need some sort of skid plate for 4 wheelin or deep mud or deep snow unless you want to punch a hole in the side, but you'll need to be up off the bottom a ways to make it work thus making the bottom of your tank useless... . chris

Once again, good info Chris, thanks !!! Becareful though, I've noticed your replys are starting to look like B's .



Brandon, does Danelle know that you are taking poetry classes on the side .

Chris, is that 8AN the one I am familiar with? If it is you must have found someone to cut the metric.

Yup, my dad cut the metric side of the fitting.

 

[csutton7]

JWhitcomb---yes it is---I couldn't remember your TDR name so that's why in my post I said another TDR member---anyway thanks to both you and Rubberneck there's a fitting to be installed sometime in the near future---chris

 

[JWhitcomb]

Chris, glad things worked out. If the fitting does the job might be RubberHead's dad and I can team up to get some out.

I just pm'd ya---chris
