I am unsure of the differences between the standard automotive VE, and the 230hp pump, but I do know that many of the industrial VE pumps do not use an AFC device. Lucas CAV pumps are also used on industrial B’s. Industral pumps are designed to run at constant speeds, where acceleration smoke would not be an issue. I would guess that with different emissions laws, they might flow a bit more fuel. As for using the industrial pump on a pickup, I don’t think it would be practical. But if someone has a little too much time on their hands and tries it, let me know how it turns out.
