In-tank fuel pump

An in-tank fuel pump is an electric fuel pump designed to be installed directly inside the vehicle's fuel tank. This is the standard configuration for nearly all modern vehicles because it offers two core advantages: quiet operation (the fuel itself muffles the pump's sound) and longer lifespan (the pump is submerged in fuel, which constantly cools it and prevents overheating). For performance upgrades, a high-flow universal in-tank fuel pump is the ideal choice for replacing a weak factory pump to support higher horsepower.

Why Choose an In-tank Fuel Pump?

An in-tank fuel pump is the preferred solution for anyone seeking OEM-level reliability and comfort.

  • Ultra-Quiet Operation: The surrounding fuel acts as a natural sound barrier, making the pump's operation virtually silent for a more comfortable driving experience.
  • Superior Cooling: Because the pump is submerged, the fuel constantly draws heat away from the motor. This keeps the pump at its optimal operating temperature, which is critical for the durability of a high-performance pump.
  • Prevents Cavitation: An in-tank pump 'pushes' fuel out from the bottom of the tank, rather than "pulling" it like an external pump. This design is far less prone to fuel cavitation or starvation.

Universal In-tank Fuel Pump: The Seamless Performance Upgrade

When your factory pump can no longer supply the flow needed for your modified engine (e.g., turbo, supercharger, or V8 swap), a high-flow universal in-tank fuel pump (like a 255LPH or 340LPH model) is the best upgrade path. These are often designed to replace a wide variety of factory pumps, allowing you to gain the fuel flow needed for big power while retaining the quiet, factory-style integration of your fuel system.

FAQs about In-tank fuel pump

What is an in-tank fuel pump?

An in-tank fuel pump is an electric fuel pump that is designed to be installed inside the fuel tank, submerged in fuel. This is the standard design for almost all modern production vehicles.

The in-tank design has two major advantages:
1. Cooling: The fuel surrounding the pump constantly cools it, preventing overheating and significantly extending its service life.

2. Quiet Operation: The fuel in the tank acts as a natural sound insulator, making in-tank pumps much quieter than external (inline) pumps.

You should upgrade your stock in-tank fuel pump when it can no longer supply the volume of fuel your engine needs. This almost always happens when you add performance modifications like a turbocharger, supercharger, larger injectors, or swap in a more powerful engine. A high-flow pump (e.g., 255LPH, 340LPH) is required to prevent fuel starvation at high horsepower.

The main challenge of installing an in-tank fuel pump is that you must first access the fuel tank. This typically involves removing the back seat or, more commonly, dropping the entire fuel tank from underneath the car. While the pump swap itself is often straightforward, accessing it is the most difficult part of the job.

An EVIL ENERGY fuel pump is a high-performance, reliable upgrade over your factory pump. Our in-tank fuel pump models are designed to provide significantly higher fuel flow (LPH) to support your modified engine's power goals. They are built for durability and are a cost-effective solution for ensuring your engine gets the stable fuel supply it needs.
