[DeTomaso] Any DC motor controller guys out there?

[Dave Doddek]

My first idea would be to get another pump that can connect to 12v
directly.  Any EFI system of the older style anyway, will use a bypass
regulator to return excess fuel to the tank.  You can run as big a pump as
you want as long as the lines and regulator can handle it.  I would not
want a pump that needed a controller.  That is just extra electonics to
fail.  If you have to, run dual parallel pumps to get the needed flow.  I
use a single Bosch pump and it supports 800 hp.  If you need more, then you
can run two of these.  And since the Bosch is an OEM pump and not some
custom billit, it would be more reliable, cheaper, and can buy one at any
auto parts store.  Or better yet, modify your gas tank with a larger
opening on the top and run two internal 255 lph pumps from a mustang.
These are dirt cheap and dead reliable.

need to have more gas pumped than I need.  I asked Aeromotive, and all they
would say was that if you drop the voltage below 12 volts, the current will
rise and cook the wires and the motor.  They do make a solid state
controller, but it's pretty much a black box.
