K&N Introduces Compact, Powerful Fuel Pumps For Diesel Engines

When the fuel pump fails, the fun stops. Get it going again with K&N‘s new electric fuel pump for diesel engines (p/n 81-0403), now being made available along three other entrants that regulate anywhere from 15 to 38 gallons per hour.

Official Release:

K&N electric fuel pumps take electric pump advantages to a higher level. State of the art sealed electronics are contained in the corrosion resistant composite case housing. K&N electronic fuel pumps do not have bearings, electrical contacts, or diaphragms to wear out or fatigue. They are performance rated for 6,000 hours and can last four to five times longer than many other electric fuel pumps. The entire unit is lightweight at only 18 ounces and compact, measuring just 3 inches. Installation is simple using two included bolts, and the two color coded wires makes getting 12V power to the pump stress-free. K&N electric pumps are self-priming and self-regulating eliminating the need for a separate fuel pressure regulator.

K&N electric fuel pumps are available in four variations depending on the fuel pressure needs, from 15 to 38 gallons per hour. These fuel pumps come with a fuel filter and hose barb fitting, and are self-priming and self-regulating which eliminates the need for a separate fuel pressure regulator.

All four pumps are compatible with gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, E85, blended alcohol, and fuel additives. K&N electric fuel pumps can be used on all carburetor equipped engines as well as a lift pump for diesel fuel injection systems. Each pump includes a disposable fuel filter which threads into the pump’s inlet, and a 1/8” NPT threaded hose barb fitting for the outlet. The included fuel filter and hose barb will work with 3/8” fuel line, or can be swapped out for different diameter hose fittings, sold separately. Fuel pumps 81-0401 and 84-0402 can be placed up to 12” above the fuel tank. 81-0400 can be placed up to 24” above the fuel tank, and the diesel electric fuel pump, number 81-0403, can be located 50” above the fuel tank.

Features:

• Can be located up to 50 inches above the fuel tank
• Performance rated for 6,000 hours of use
• Lightweight at only 18 ounces, compact at just 3 inches across
