i have known Jason aka smkscrn for a long time, he is a good guy and would not be giving us all info about something that doesn't work! i actually just talked to him about getting one for my truck to test for them next year. i hope to put some bigger injectors in it and hope to offer some good info for a higher hp truck. aeromotive makes such amazing fuel system parts for some really fast stuff im excited to have them offer us diesel stuff!!

I know both of these guys. :) They wouldn't steer you wrong, I also am glad to see a good company like Aeromotive get into the diesel game!

There is a lot that's better. You don't have the wearing and replacement of the inner seals after winter time,built in regulator and gauge not a spring and ball. Built in check valve, The free flow design has been tested driving so it will not leave you stranded. Flow rates are almost double when this pump is at 8 psi over competitors 10 psi

Just to give you an example

Competitor a 95 pump at 10 psi flows 86 gpm.

Competitor b on 165 pump at 10 psi flows 72gpm

Aeromotives at 8 psi flows 162 gpm.

My truck is making 530 rwhp.

Also the pump is mounted on inner frame rail by the fuel cooler my pump isn't annoying like others I have had. I am sure once they get this in production they will release all of there specs.

I have had the similar design pump on my street car for 7 years running e-85 with not one issues. Hope this answers your question

Surely you mean GPH, as in gallons per hour, not GPM, gallons per minute. ;)

Aeromotive does make some nice stuff.

I have often wondered about the advertised gph on some of these pumps I have never read anywhere what the restriction level or psi it's pushing against is at the advertised gph.

Looks like a nice kit and I saw a semantic blueprint where they say they have inlet and outlet ports on the manifold if we want to run coolant thru to keep it warm in the winter. #2 in the winter anyone????

If your not working directly with them, why is it you can't directly post the other units brand used, to prove real world results. And testing on a stock truck, that was so... 2005 ;)

Restriction should not be to much of an issue as the cp3 is designed to suck fuel to feed itself.

They will be posted when the final pump goes into production. I'm not on here to slander or talk shit about people's pumps,. Most of this info is on the web if you want to research it. Just showing a taste of a product that shows results and will change the industry standard. I heard maybe as soon as the first of the year they will go into production.

I don't think it's designed that way. I think the ole general was cost cutting, can I get a damn inner fender liner for my rear end btw

There are many high mileage trucks out there without lift pumps so something must be getting the fuel to the motor.

Rear inner fender would be nice. That is on thing that kept me from running a fass. Having the pump right if front of the rear tire. Especially with our crappy winters and gravel roads.

Absolutely true.
But I was talking about different pumps rating systems.
Example if a pumps output pressure is let's say 30 psi it may only pump 100 gph but that same pump if it's outlet pressure was 1 psi it may move 200 gph.

So does mfg A test there's at 0 psi outlet pressure and then mfg B test there's at 15 psi outlet pressure
if so and and they were both labeled 100gph pumps pump B would be a higher volume pump

competior a and b both rate there pumps at free flow.. running wide open as much as they can. but when set down to 10 psi which most d max pumps run they are no where near what they say they are...

So here is a question. If a "165gph" pump, which really only pumps about 80gph at 10psi, can support an 800-900hp engine, what is the need for anymore flow? You could have a 1000gph pump and all it would do is return the unused fuel to the tank. I could see needing a higher volume pump if you are going for four digit hp numbers.

Flow rate will go up as pressure drops. It would be more equal if you were comparing Aeromotive's flow rate at the same PSI as the others.

Just to show what I'm talking about, here's the flow chart for the pump I run on the van.

I wanna know whose pumps are shit.
Also I think you should test Fuelab. If their similar style to the AD/FASS pumps are comparable to their race pumps. I think you would find some interesting results that might change your thoughts on the Aeromotive.
