Over the last 10 years, I'v had to flat bed my Cobra twice for mechanical failures. Both time it was for a failed Aeromotive A1000 pump. Fortunatly, I had a spare both times, so down time was minimal. But I don't want to be replacing the pump every few years. I need a good electric pump that will last.

I'm making 600+hp on E85, at 42psi. So I need a minimum of 65 gal/hr (432#/hr).

I looked at both Weldon and Magnafuel. Both considerably more expensive than Aeromotive. Not that concerned about the price, as long as the part will last. I also looked at Quick Fuel, but they're for carbs.

Any thoughts/experience with either Magnafuel or Weldon?

Any other part I should be looking at?

At the moment, I'm leaning towards the Magnaflow, only because it would be easy to mount in my car, in place of the Aeromotive.

 

Give lonnie a call he'll get you what you need. My dual intank setup has been great, his customer service is top notch too.

the Holley 12-1800 Pump will be more than enough and wont break the budget either

 

Yeah, I came across the 12-700 recently. It looks good, and flows plenty of fuel. They claim it's a 100K mile pump. But it's brand new, and no one has any experience with it. I might try it out, hoping it's a 50K mile pump.

 

What about modifying a tank for a pair of internal pumps?

 

It's a certified fuel cell. Not allowed to modify it in any way.

I could use a stock type Mustang hanger, with pump, pick up, and return. But for this fuel cell, the only thing that fits is 87-93. And the feed and return lines are too small. Not a whole lot of choices for a Ford guy. So, I end up using an external pump.

One of the reasons my new track car will be Chevy powered. Lots of good choices there.

 

I just picked up a '02 Express van and it has an external
pump that ought to be readily available, and capable of
at least feeding a 6.0 at our 4-bar pressure. Maybe you
parallel two of 'em for more, if need be.

 

Not to hijack this thread...but, could you give me a little more info on this van? I have never seen one with an external pump...

 

It's an '02 conversion van based on an Express 1500.
The pump seems to be under a heat shield just fore
of the filter and the big, long-*** tank on the driver's
side. Motor is the old iron 5.7 controlled by a "411" PCM.

 

Very cool...ok, thanks.

Off to search...

 

Nah. Was under there again and looked closer, that stuff
under the heat shield is the EVAP crap and the whining is
inside the tank.

I do know our Lincoln MkVII has an external pump because
I changed that once. Whether it's any good for a big LSX
at 4 bar, when it's meant for a 5.0 at 3 bar, I dunno.
Maybe some of the fox body mustang / late-'80s Ford fans
do, or maybe have a line on uprated stuff.

 

All of those pumps are internal. The only upgrade is to install the standard 255 Walbro type pump.

Newer Mustang GT's have the pump mounted in the center, instead of on the right side. For those you can buy a special billit hat that mounts two pumps. Very expensive.
