lection of quality car care products for fans to enhance and protect their

pay tribute to the brand’s iconic heritage in car culture and gives fans a
new way to interact with the popular toy brand.”
“Hot Wheels Car Care has experienced blurring fast growth over the

Detailing Products maker of Hot Wheels Care Care. “Keystone understands

motive enthusiasts. And they have the distribution expertise and experience
to bring Hot Wheels Car Care products to the next level.”

depth and deep gloss on any clear coated or chrome surface.

aluminum, painted and coated wheels and rims.

Aeromotive, the market leader in fuel delivery systems and components,
introduces its new Signature Body Series Brushless Fuel Pumps. Aeromo-
tive now provides their latest brushless fuel pump technology in the classic
Aeromotive finned pump housing with integral mounting tabs to better
support builds where a lighter, lower profile pump assembly is desired.
The new Signature Body design is available for all four Aeromotive brush-
less pumps: the Brushless A1000 (P/N 11184), the Brushless Eliminator
(P/N 11184), the 3.5 GPM Brushless Gear Pump (P/N 11185), and the 5.0
GPM Brushless Gear Pump (P/N 11186). Aeromotive’s popular Brushless
Fuel Pump line provides more flow at higher pressures. The Brushless
technology improves performance and efficiency by drawing less current,
creating less heat, and eliminating the wear common to brush style motors.
The Brushless A1000 and Eliminator versions feature the same legendary
roller-vane pumping mechanisms that have been trusted to perform for
decades. Aeromotive’s Brushless Fuel Pump line is ideal for dual purpose,
street/race applications requiring a continuous duty fuel pump.
“When designing our new line of brushless pumps, it was important
to keep the final product in the same size and shape to be able to fit into
our fuel systems and offer a chance for customers to upgrade their exist-
ing Aeromotive set-ups,” stated Steve Matusek, President of Aeromotive.
“When we started receiving feedback from customers seeking additional
mounting options, we responded by designing our Signature Body option
to simplify the installation process.”
All pumps from Aeromotive’s Brushless Fuel Pump line are available in
one of four configurations:
• Signature Body, external in-line with finned pump housing and integral
mounting tabs.
• Standard Body, external in-line with modular Stainless T-Bolt
mounting clamps.
• Direct drop-in, direct replacement for any brush style pump in an Aeromo-
tive Stealth fuel cell – including the COPO Camaro, Mustang Cobra Jet or
MOPAR Drag Pak factory race cars.
• Complete Stealth fuel cells from A1000 to 5.0 series, available in 6, 15 or
20 gallon capacities.
