A suspicion that has long been speculated has officially been confirmed; that indeed, the new Fuelab EFPR (electronic fuel pressure regulator) can in fact operate two Prodigy Fuel Pumps simultaneously. In the picture shown, this “Frankenstein” mess has two Prodigy fuel pumps in parallel running through the new Fuelab EFPR.

With flow rates exceeding 325 GPH (over 2000 lbs per hour) the system remains calm. With low current draw (11.5 Amps) at zero flow rate or simulated idle, this system can run continuously for street use. Because of the unique patented design, flow rate through the regulator still remains low, so low in fact that the system operates with just a 3/8” return line! The test was conducted using a 42402-c and a 41403-c fuel pump to monitor capability and performance. The new 52901 regulator also has a zero to five volt output, to data log actual pump capacity as well as give a safety indicator. The system was operated for 45 minutes to examine heat build-up. Next step for this set-up: Get it on a live vehicle.

SEMA Show 2011

Las Vegas Convention Center

Las Vegas, Nevada

November 1-4, 2011

Booth 21030

We hope to see you there! Even if you weren't planning on going- take a couple days off and head to Vegas!

Thanks to everyone that stopped by to see us this weekend. It was a great show and a perfect end to the 2011 NMCA points season. The weather was perfect and the crowd was huge- what more could you ask for?

We look forward to seeing you all again next racing season. Also, don't forget to come check us out at SEMA, PRI, and IMIS.

A few weeks ago we hit a bit of a milestone (small for some, but big for us). We now have 300 fans on our Facebook page. In honor of that, I randomly selected two fans- one from the U.S. and one from outside the U.S. Each of these two fans will receive a Fuelab t-shirt. To continue the trend, we are going to give away something to a random fan each time we gain an additional 100 fans (up to the 1500 fan mark). My plan is to progressively sweeten the pot when we reach the 500, 750, 1000, and 1500 fan mark. For every 100 fans in between, we will randomly select one winner for a Fuelab shirt. With all of that said, spread the word about Fuelab to all of your friends. Suggest our page to fellow car enthusiasts, even if they use our competitor’s products- help them see the light!

The entire crew at FUELAB wishes everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!

Innovation and Customer Service – It’s what sets FUELAB apart from the rest.

Recently, we worked with Sherwin from Florida who was looking for a solution for a consistent high flow bypass regulator for Weber carb users out there. He needed a bypass valve that would hold a steady 2.5psi all the time without fluctuating. By re-working an existing design, we were able to create a solution to the problem that Sherwin and many of the Weber carb users out there faced. The FUELAB 51505-3-X-L was born.

Here’s what Sherwin had to say about his new FUELAB adjustable fuel pressure regulator:

Hello Rick....Rob....Brian,

I installed the 51505-3-X-L today. It performed just like you said it would- 2.5psi all the time. I've attached photos of the regulator install as well as the ‘65 Dodge AWB/AFX that the regulator is installed in. I'll be ordering another one for my next project and I will be sure to spread the word to the other Weber carb users in my area. Thanks again for taking the time with all of my questions throughout the selection and design process.

 

Best regards,

Sherwin

 

If you have a unique problem such as the one mentioned above, and you think others might be having the same issues- be sure to let us know. We would be happy to try to design and/or re-work an existing product in order to meet the needs of a smaller niche group.

Rob started off the season in the winner's circle as the LSX Index Rumble winner. A FUELAB 41401 is feeding his 'Vette.

Here's what Rob had to say:

"Thanks to FUELAB - I was in the winners circle with my 1998 Corvette Pace this past weekend. I was the LSX Index Rumble Winner. The inline 40401 fuel pump never failed me. I also use the Prodigy fuel pump in my 85 Mustang GT. Thanks guys for making a superior product."

FUELAB will be at the Race and Performance Expo at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL this weekend. Stop by booth 323 and say hello to Brian and the guys. We will have all of our new products for 2011, as well as all of your familiar favorites.

We want to hear from you. Let us know the trends that you see in the performance fuel systems market. What's hot and what's not? What types of new products would you like to see us working on?

Last, but certainly not least- what message forum(s) do you use most? In an effort to get closer to our customers, we are going to start being more active on several automotive message forums. The idea is that we will be able to give you a direct avenue of communication for product questions and all of your tech support needs. Communicating on a public forum will also create a source of knowledge and information for other people that may have the same questions and/or concerns.

As always, you can communicate with us on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fuelab/110546012332223

EXTENDED FEATURES:

·         Gasoline, diesel, methanol and ethanol fuel compatible

·         Billet Aluminum with anodize per military MIL-A-8625, Type II

·         Fine Thread pitch for precise pressure adjustment

·         Versatile mounting bracket and stainless steel hardware

·         1/8” NPT gauge port with plug for external pressure gauge

·         1/8” NPT pressure reference port with barbed fitting
