Fuel Pumps ensure a constant flow of fuel between the Tank and Carburettor.
If the Tank and Carburettor are positioned unfavorably in relation to each other, the pressure required to fill the Float Chamber may be lacking - especially with tuning carburettors that sit above the Tank. In this case, a Fuel Pump builds up the necessary pressure and ensures a reliable fuel supply. The range includes mechanical (vacuum) and electrical versions, including those from MIKUNI, DELL'ORTO, SIP and PIERBURG.
- Constant fuel flow even with unfavorable tank/carburetor position
- Mechanical via vacuum: compact, without electrics
- Electrical with high delivery rate: powerful supply for tuning setups
- Suitable flow rates depending on the application - from touring to performance setups
MIKUNI vacuum pumps impress with their compact dimensions and excellent performance. They are controlled via the pulse generated by the Engine and are available with a delivery rate of 14 l/h or 20 l/h. A vacuum fuel pump is also available from DELL'ORTO, which does not require an electrical system and can deliver up to 55 l/h depending on the speed; it is supplied as a kit including the required Frame Parts.
In the electric variants, the electric SIP Fuel Pump achieves a delivery rate of around 100 l/h with low power consumption (12V/1.5A), but is not designed for continuous operation due to the power supply via the scooter battery. The PIERBURG E1F belongs to the new generation of electric fuel pumps in accordance with DIN E 51606 and offers up to 95 l/h at 12V/2A; the service life is over 2000 hours in non-stop operation.
Conclusion: Clean solution for reliable fuel supply when the setup requires more pressure and constant flow.
These products fit perfectly - SIP TIPPS:
- Smaller float needle valve seat for reliable sealing against Elevation pump pressure
- Fuel filter and suitable fuel and vacuum lines (depending on pump type)
- For electric pumps: clean fuse (Relays) for the Connection
Feedback
"Works perfectly and thanks to the overflow system, the Carburettor only ever gets as much fuel as it needs."
