TYC's Fuel Pump & Housing Assemblies feature an upgraded design that utilizes premium components to best handle modern fuels. TYC has updated all their fuel pump modules to use carbon (instead of copper) commutators. This change allows TYC Fuel Pumps to smoothly operate with flex fuel blends up to E85 (85% ethanol).

Durability: Carbon's melting point is 3X greater than copper. This allows carbon brushes to wear more evenly, reduce sparking, and minimize damage to the conductive metal segments of the electric pump.

Smooth Operation: Carbon is a softer compound compared to copper, resulting in quieter operation. Additionally, carbon's inherent self lubrication properties and dry running capability help the pump to stay cool during operation.

Increased Efficiency: Carbon actually becomes more conductive as temperatures climb. This means less electrical current is needed to maintain optimum fuel flow as the pump warms up; saving energy and reducing the temperature of wiring and other components.
