ETHANOL-FRIENDLY FUEL PUMP
It’s hard to go green if your green car won’t go.
Ethanol-laced fuels have been promoted as an eco-friendly
way to reduce oil imports and improve emissions. Not everybody
likes ethanol fuels, especially owners of older cars designed to
run on ethanol-free gasoline. Ethanol is hard on fuel systems
and seals. As long as we have to live with the stuff, it makes sense
to use parts designed to hold up under ethanol’s corrosive state.
If you’re in the market for a fuel pump, Summit Racing has
this high-flow in-tank pump from AEM Electronics rated at 84
gallons per hour at 43 psi that’s specifically designed for ethanol
and methanol fuels. The pump comes with a wiring harness, pre
filter, internal fuel hose and clamps, end cap, and rubber buffer
sleeve, and is compatible with ethanol fuel up to E100, methanol
fuel up to M100, and all types of gasoline. Price at press-time
was $122.
