Carter Electric Fuel Pump

Carter Electric Fuel Pumps: Over a Century of Fuel Delivery Expertise

Carter Fuel Systems has been at the forefront of automotive fuel delivery since 1909, and nowhere is that engineering heritage more evident than in their electric fuel pump lineup. Recognizing the industry's shift toward fuel injection, Carter became a prominent manufacturer of electric fuel pumps, and today offers modern electric fuel pumps for a vast array of fuel-injected applications — all while drawing on more than a century of fuel system know-how.

A Range of Electric Pump Technologies

One of Carter's key strengths is the breadth of electric fuel pump designs they offer. Carter's universal electric fuel pumps are available in a variety of designs including rotary vane, Carter Gerotor, and solenoid to accommodate most domestic and imported passenger cars, trucks, marine, and industrial engines.

• Rotary Vane Pumps: Rotating vanes driven by a heavy-duty wet motor deliver pressure from 4 to 18 psi at a flow rate of up to 100 gallons per hour, providing excellent lift and prime capability. The pump is available in 6-, 12-, and 24-volt versions and is appropriate for RV, marine, agricultural, industrial, and performance applications.
• Gerotor Pumps: The gerotor utilizes a unique gear and rotor eccentric mechanism that squeezes the fuel within the pump to create high pressure with limited pulsation. Carter gerotor universal pump applications range from carburetor to TBI & MFI systems and are commonly used in OE-type hanger and module assemblies.
• Turbine Technology: Carter's turbine technology makes the pump quieter, more tolerant of debris, and more durable — drawing less amperage to extend connector lifespan, prevent overloads, and virtually eliminate pulsation found in original designs.
• Brushless BLDC Pumps: Carter has been developing new generations of brushless BLDC fuel pumps since 2008. Brushless BLDC fuel pumps represent the latest technology and have numerous advantages over brushed pumps.

Exclusive CleanScreen™ Filtration Technology

Carter doesn't just move fuel — they protect the entire pump from the inside out. Carter exclusively provides CleanScreen™ multilayer filtration technology, which delivers 40% more dirt-holding capacity to effectively trap all levels of microns, helping preserve the electrical integrity of the fuel pump and increasing its service life. This proprietary feature sets Carter's universal electric pumps apart from generic aftermarket alternatives.

OE-Level Engineering and Broad Coverage

Backed by in-house R&D, engineering, and factory testing, Carter fuel pumps are built to deliver fit, function, and quality on a level that meets or exceeds OE standards. In addition to adherence to OE specifications, the engineers at Carter add a number of improvements to their electric fuel pumps depending on the application, such as overmolded armature for optimum balance, enhanced durability, and reduced fuel turbulence.

Carter provides a comprehensive engineered pump line covering 95% of vehicles in operation, spanning domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks, marine vessels, RVs, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery. Whether you need a direct-fit in-tank replacement or a versatile universal inline pump, Carter's electric fuel pump catalog is engineered to get the job done right the first time.

Competition Series for High-Performance Applications

Enthusiasts and racers aren't left out of the lineup. Carter Competition Series Electric Fuel Pumps are designed and engineered for constant use, high-performance, and quiet operation, with fuel cooling the motor and no shaft seals subject to deterioration and leakage. They are engineered to operate with leaded, unleaded, gasohol, fuel additives, and race gas, and are designed for carburetor engines with the ability to operate in pairs for high-horsepower street, strip, and off-road vehicles.
