TYC's Fuel Pump & Housing Assemblies feature an upgraded design that utilizes premium components to best handle modern fuels. TYC has updated all their fuel pump modules to use carbon (instead of copper) commutators. This change allows TYC Fuel Pumps to smoothly operate with flex fuel blends up to E85 (85% ethanol).

Durability: Carbon's melting point is 3X greater than copper. This allows carbon brushes to wear more evenly, reduce sparking, and minimize damage to the conductive metal segments of the electric pump.

Smooth Operation: Carbon is a softer compound compared to copper, resulting in quieter operation. Additionally, carbon's inherent self lubrication properties and dry running capability help the pump to stay cool during operation.

Increased Efficiency: Carbon actually becomes more conductive as temperatures climb. This means less electrical current is needed to maintain optimum fuel flow as the pump warms up; saving energy and reducing the temperature of wiring and other components.

Benefits of Purchasing a Fuel Pump & Housing Assembly

Purchasing just the fuel pump is less expensive up-front, but a complete Fuel Pump & Housing Assembly provides added benefits:

• Extend Service Life: New strainer(s), hoses, sensors and other components help resolve problems that could be caused by more than just the pump.
• Reduce Install Time: Since you don't have to disassemble the housing, which could lead to damage, replacement becomes a simple swap, dramatically reducing installation time.
• Save Money: The cost of the assembly is often cheaper than buying the components individually, and means you only have to do the job once.

Prevent Premature Fuel Pump Failure

Preventing premature fuel pump failure is far less expensive and time consuming than continuing to replace the pump. There are three common causes for premature fuel pump failure:
