| | I don't know the specs on the stock pump. I guess
the purpose of the pump
is only to circulate fluid through the system for
cooling, right? I
suppose we could do some testing. I looked in the
McMaster-Carr catalog
today. They have a gear type pump with Delrin gears
and a 12VDC motor for
about $47.00 I'm not sure how a fuel pump would
work, but this gear pump
would probably work good on ATF. Rated for 13 fl.
oz./min 20 PSI or 63
fl. oz./min @10PSI on 200 CPS fluids. Max temp 200
degF. 1.6 amp draw.
For guys that maybe aren't familiar with
McMaster-Carr, they are a huge
industrial supply house. Probably every
manufacturing plant in the US has
at least one of their big yellow catalogs in the
maintenance or
engineering office. They have a great web site too
http://www.mcmaster.com. I buy lots of MC stuff
from them too. Loopframe
tool box locks, vibration mounts, various hardware,
fateners of all
types. Order online and they ship it fast!
