Match the Exact Fuel-Cell Module
Aeromotive 18026 is the 5.0 GPM brushless spur-gear fuel-cell module, straight outlet / Fixed Speed / fixed height for 10-inch cells. Confirm both control mode and outlet selection; a related shallow or adjustable pump does not establish this module's dimensions or contents.
Key Features
- Brushless motor with spur-gear pumping mechanism
- straight outlet and fixed-height cell configuration confirmed by the current exact SKU matrix
- Fixed-speed configuration; no TVS control option inferred
- Reduced current draw at higher EFI pressures is a manufacturer family feature, not an all-pressure current ceiling
Fitment
The exact manual describes replacement/upgrade of an existing Aeromotive fuel-cell pump in a cell already plumbed and wired. For a new cell or non-Aeromotive conversion, obtain the manufacturer's installation guidance. Match tank depth, flange, pickup orientation and baffling so the pickup does not interfere with the baffle. This module is not a complete fuel cell or blanket factory-vehicle replacement.
The current manufacturer restricts emission-controlled use to a direct replacement matching OEM specifications. The original manual also carries a broad emission-controlled-use prohibition. Do not infer a vehicle emissions exemption or year/make/model fitment from universal or performance claims.
Specifications
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Brand | Aeromotive |
| Manufacturer Part Number | 18026 |
| Exact primary selection | 5.0 GPM brushless spur-gear fuel-cell module, straight outlet / Fixed Speed / fixed height for 10-inch cells |
| Outlet | Female ORB-10; O-ring sealing, not NPT |
| Pressure qualification | The current family states 90 PSI continuous and 150 PSI peak, base plus boost. The exact original manual states a maximum of 90 PSI continuous; it does not establish the duration or operating conditions for the marketing peak. Do not treat 150 PSI as continuous duty. |
| Flow / naming qualification | The current family publishes 1,700 lb/hr at 40 PSI and 1,850 lb/hr at 9 PSI, both at 13.5V. The original manual's parts list calls the selected module 4.6 GPM, whereas the current exact SKU selection calls it 5.0 GPM. Preserve that naming/test-point difference; no all-pressure flow or fuel-density conversion is inferred. |
| Condition | New |
The current family lists gas/E85/methanol/alcohol, while the original exact manual explicitly lists pump gas, race gas and E85. Confirm actual revision-specific approval for other alcohol fuels; every hose, seal and filter medium must independently suit the fuel.
What's Included
- One exact brushless spur-gear pump module with its documented motor-control configuration
- One AN-12 fuel-pickup assembly
- One pump retaining ring and one flange gasket
- Ten 10-24 cap screws, ten #10 nylon washers and two 10-24 flat-head screws
The listed contents follow the exact original manufacturer-authored manual. Actual boxed revision has not been inspected. A complete cell/tank, bypass regulator, separate post-filter, sender, vehicle harness and fuel plumbing are not promised.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 18026?
It is the Aeromotive 5.0 GPM brushless spur-gear fuel-cell module, straight outlet / Fixed Speed / fixed height for 10-inch cells. Match the exact SKU and cell configuration.
Is the height adjustable?
The current exact SKU matrix identifies fixed height for 10-inch cells. Do not substitute the adjustable or shallow family variant's depth range.
What does the installation manual cover?
The exact manual describes replacement/upgrade of an existing Aeromotive fuel-cell pump in a cell already plumbed and wired. For a new cell or non-Aeromotive conversion, obtain the manufacturer's installation guidance. Match tank depth, flange, pickup orientation and baffling so the pickup does not interfere with the baffle. This module is not a complete fuel cell or blanket factory-vehicle replacement.
What pressure rating applies?
The current family states 90 PSI continuous and 150 PSI peak, base plus boost. The exact original manual states a maximum of 90 PSI continuous; it does not establish the duration or operating conditions for the marketing peak. Do not treat 150 PSI as continuous duty.
Which speed-control configuration is supplied?
The current exact SKU matrix identifies fixed-speed operation. Do not borrow the TVS variant's yellow analog lead, minimum speed floor or selectable control modes. Brushless motor electronics are still required; fixed-speed does not mean the motor can be operated without its proper controller.
What power supply is required?
Use flat DC main power with correct red-positive / black-ground polarity, not an OEM PWM/FPDM or legacy pump-speed-controller output. The primary says straight 12–16VDC but separately excludes 16V charging systems typically running at 16–18V without stepping down to normal 12V charging-system voltage.
What components are included?
One exact brushless spur-gear pump module with its documented motor-control configuration; One AN-12 fuel-pickup assembly; One pump retaining ring and one flange gasket; Ten 10-24 cap screws, ten #10 nylon washers and two 10-24 flat-head screws. Tank, regulator, post-filter, sender, complete harness and fuel plumbing are separate.
Which fuels and performance figures are supported?
The current family lists gas/E85/methanol/alcohol, while the original exact manual explicitly lists pump gas, race gas and E85. Confirm actual revision-specific approval for other alcohol fuels; every hose, seal and filter medium must independently suit the fuel. The current family publishes 1,700 lb/hr at 40 PSI and 1,850 lb/hr at 9 PSI, both at 13.5V. The original manual's parts list calls the selected module 4.6 GPM, whereas the current exact SKU selection calls it 5.0 GPM. Preserve that naming/test-point difference; no all-pressure flow or fuel-density conversion is inferred.
Installation Instructions
- Have a qualified technician confirm the actual hardware revision, pressure duty and existing cell/plumbing/wiring. Relieve pressure and disconnect power before work.
- Follow the exact manual's module/pickup removal and replacement sequence. Orient the pickup to avoid the cell's baffle; use the supplied new retaining ring, gasket, washers and screws as instructed.
- Lubricate the pickup O-ring appropriately and follow the manual's specified retainer-screw sealing procedure. ORB outlet ports use O-rings and no pipe-thread sealant.
- Provide a suitable bypass regulator, return system and fuel-compatible filtration/lines. Maintain at least half a tank for driving run times over 30 minutes as instructed.
- Use flat DC main power with correct red-positive / black-ground polarity, not an OEM PWM/FPDM or legacy pump-speed-controller output. The primary says straight 12–16VDC but separately excludes 16V charging systems typically running at 16–18V without stepping down to normal 12V charging-system voltage.
- The original exact manual refers to a power diagram but does not show a complete wire-gauge/fuse sizing diagram in the retrieved document. Obtain wiring requirements for the actual fixed-speed controller; do not transplant a TVS or inline-pump circuit rating.
- The current exact SKU matrix identifies fixed-speed operation. Do not borrow the TVS variant's yellow analog lead, minimum speed floor or selectable control modes. Brushless motor electronics are still required; fixed-speed does not mean the motor can be operated without its proper controller.
- Prime and inspect for leaks, then confirm pressure and delivery throughout all intended operating conditions. Repair any leak, starvation or electrical fault before use.
