Federal-Mogul developed an electrical brushless diesel fuel pump for on- and off-highway engines to help keep heavy-duty vehicles working longer.

The technology suits 12V and 24V applications and is available for diesel engines typically used in the medium- and heavy-duty on-highway sector and in the construction, stationary, marine and agricultural sectors.

Federal-Mogul's electrical brushless fuel pump addresses the shortcomings of a conventional fuel pump, according to the company. With electronic commutation to drive the DC motor, the company's non-contact technology is more durable than a conventional pump even when mounted directly on the engine, says the company.

According to Federal-Mogul, durability field tests of Federal-Mogul's electrical brushless pump showed that the product lasts approximately 20 times longer than a conventional pump. The pump's efficient electrically driven design also reduces the load placed on the engine when compared to conventional belt or gear driven pumps, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Federal-Mogul's electrical brushless motor's universal design also provides ease of installation in existing fuel pump packages to replace current brush-style motors. The design enables the product to readily enhance the life of an engine in service and reduce maintenance expenses.
