We've done several and the "over-heating" is indeed a non-issue. It doesn't stop the haters from posting otherwise as that's what they do....but facts are, there is no heat issue.

AEROMOTIVE IN-TANK RESULTS

gotjuice?

So, No need to install the pump controller unless you want to cut down on the noise at idle?

What about running a fuel cooler on the return line to combat the gradual increase of the in-tank fuel temperatures.

Recirculating warm fuel only results in one thing: warmer fuel. Keep this process going for 4 hrs straight (ie: highway trips) coupled with a decreasing level of fuel in the tanks and what do you get??

Both the A1000 and Elminator are awesome pumps, but won't they both eventually get very warm thus risking injury to the pump, even with the speed controller??

good question and wondering about the answer from Aeromotive..


Do you installed A1000 or the eliminators pumps ?

I having heating issues and vapor lock from the Eliminator pump, I bought the HOB c6 complete system.

Also many other members reported that have same heating issues with A1000 and Eliminator in-tank pumps..

This kit sucks Period! It needs a bunch of other stuff thats not included, and they dont tell you about.

Garbage!!!!

Like what? The only thing mine didn't include was a fuel pressure gauge (but that's because a user can choose what to use) and a tach driver, but the tach driver isn't even needed.

I wouldn't say it makes the kit, or in this case, the in-tank engineered piece garbage? Perhaps not getting all the fittings is "garbage" but as far as the pump assembly goes, its far from a POS...

I was about to upgrade the system in my TT Z06 with this kit until I rode in a friends car that has it and we were left stranded on the side of the road on more than one occasion.

At least in his car there IS a heat issue!!!!

with / without installation ?

I'm in Parkville - not far away!!

Zero heat issues here. Maybe it have something to do with how the rest of the system is designed

I have no experience of the complete kit. I bought the Eliminator version of the pump + the controller and built the rest myself.
Heat is always a issue with a fuelsystem having the regulator + return line going from the engine compartment. I have the regulator just beside the throttelbody and I have all the lines heat insulated and routed as far away from exhaust side as possible. That include the lines to/from the tank.

What is the return line used -8AN or -6AN ?
How many hours did you drive your car withot any stop; truning off the engine?
Outside and your coolant temprature?
Do you have heat extractors hood?

It seems that these are major factors to get the overheating suituation!

For normal driving, at least for me, less than 30 minute,,, it was ok
even tuning the car on the dyno and taking 5 - 6 runs or more,,, no problem at all

but anything else,,, you will be on side of the road to cool down the damn fuel system! and you cannot drive the car for longer period anymore,,, otherwise the overheating suitation and pressure drops everytime,,, the more time you cool it down,, the more you will you be able to drive it!! of course you will not exceed the 30 minute period!

vette.se

6AN and the longest drive so far is about 3 hours, coolant around 100 degree celsius and around 20 outside, and yes it's a heat extractor hood on the car (it's a twin-turbo so it's needed).

The people having fuel overheating issues, were you running the pump controller?

orangecrrrush

i am running the pro series pump with the controller, and I have had no issues.

95redz

Yup 100%.

My issue now is the seal to the driver side tank in the transfer tube keeps leaking (has been replaced) and I get nasty fuel smells now.

TTBEAST

I have the eliminator pump and stopped my build for other reasons. But now I am sitting on a lot of brand new parts and one of them is this complete eliminator fuel system with controller, lines , gauge, ect.

I have $ 2,500.00 Into this stuff and feel like I am stuck with it. Any suggestions ? Some seem to be ok with them and some not. I would hate to sell this thing to someone and them be pissed at me. Will Aeromotive take it back ? Most companies do not return electrical parts, I would be happy with a credit if they stand behind their products. I hate to sit on this stuff, I want to move on with my new build.

Why would they take a product back that you have had no issues with and just no longer need?

TTBEAST

I am not bashing Aeramotive and know that the majority of companies will not return electrical parts period. I have used their stuff in a couple of my cars and never had issues. But it seems as though their are people in here that are having some issues with them and people that are standing behind them with good results. Just trying to sell the system at this point, I do not expect them to take it back. I am buying an eliminator pump that is set up for a Cobra jet fuel tank and at first thought I could just use the one I have, Aeramotive advised me to sell the kit because they are " selling like hotcakes " instead of them trying to take this one apart and set it up for what I need it for. I agree with them, it makes more sense to start with the right one. I am not sure I feel comfortable selling it to someone and then them coming back at me because whatever reason. That is what I was looking for some insight on.

caveat emptor. Don't make any promises, just list it exactly for what it is. If there is an issue, it can't be blamed directly on you if in fact you have never installed or used the device. You're selling it as "used" with no guarantees on your part.

I would buy it from you, having read everything here, except that I want to make my own lines and I think I want a pro pump.
