Electric Fuel Pumps

Electric fuel pumps can be used as direct replacements for old, mechanical fuel pumps on some vehicles. Mechanical pumps can be unreliable, inefficient and are sometimes prone to leakage. They are also less able to maintain higher fuel pressures at constant rates than electric fuel pumps.

The majority of modern-day common rail diesel engines have their fuel pumps installed in their fuel tanks, whereas in the early stages of common rail development, electric fuel pumps were often used instead of lift pumps.

We stock a wide range of electric fuel pumps at Darwen Diesels, and we back that up with excellent free technical support. Manufacturer’s units that we stock include Bosch, Denso, Delphi, and Siemens along with solenoid and piezo. The units are for both petrol and diesel engines (12volt and 24 volt), and we also stock adaptors if needed.

With the 24 volt fuel pumps, we also supply two types of filter assembly which the pump is integral to. The 24 volt electric pump has particular applications in tractors, generators and larger commercial vehicles. Examples would be Massey Ferguson tractors, and Landini and Perkins engines.

The 12 volt electric pumps are used in various applications such as cars, smaller boats and light commercial vehicles.

The 12 volt and 24 volt pumps operate under different pressures with the 12 volt operating at 4 – 5.5 PSI, and delivering up to 18 gallons per hour. The 24 volt unit operates at 4.5 – 6 PSI and delivers up to 12 gallons an hour.

We also have in stock, spare parts associated with electric fuel pumps such as inlet adaptors, in-line filters, clamps and supply lines. Delivery time on stock units is normally next day delivery if we are contacted before 4pm.

We pride ourselves on our experience and product knowledge and would be happy to help you with your electric pump requirements.

Our technical and sales team will be able to help if there is a unit you are looking for that is not on our database.
