Facet 12V Solid State Fuel Pump 40105 — 30 GPH, low 1A draw, E85 compatible

The Facet Solid State Fuel Pump 40105 is a compact 12V electric pump that delivers up to 30 gallons per hour for low-to-moderate fuel demands while drawing only about 1 amp at 12 volts.

This solid-state pump is built for simple, reliable fuel transfer on engines up to roughly 180 horsepower. Designed and manufactured in the USA, it operates without traditional diaphragms or seals, reducing mechanical wear points and offering broad fuel compatibility including gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, and alcohol blends up to E85. The pump suits applications where modest flow, low electrical load, and chemical compatibility are priorities.

How much fuel can the Facet 40105 move and at what pressure?

The 40105 achieves a maximum flow rating of 30 gallons per hour under ideal conditions, with a typical operating flow near 20 GPH at about 2 psi. It produces nominal pressures in the 3 to 4.5 psi range when delivering higher flows.

• Maximum flow: 30 gallons per hour (peak)
• Typical flow: ~20 GPH at 2 psi
• Usual operating pressure range: 3–4.5 psi
• Fits engines up to ~180 horsepower for low-flow needs

What fuels and additives can this pump handle?

The solid-state design is compatible with a wide range of modern fuels and additives. It supports conventional gasoline as well as alcohol-blended fuels up to E85, diesel, biodiesel, and common fuel additives without compromising performance.

• Gasoline and blended alcohol fuels (including E85)
• Diesel and biodiesel compatible
• Accepts common fuel system additives
• Non-diaphragm construction reduces chemical sensitivity points

How is the pump installed and what plumbing or electrical details matter?

The pump uses 1/8" NPT female ports for fluid connections and runs on 12V power, drawing approximately 1 amp. It does not include internal check or anti-siphon valves, so plumbing must account for possible fuel flow when the pump is off.

• Ports: 1/8" NPT female inlet and outlet
• Electrical: ~1 amp current draw at 12V for low battery load
• No internal check/anti-siphon valve — external valves may be required
• Dry lift: up to 12 inches vertical capability

What durability and quality standards does Facet apply to this pump?

Facet manufactures its electronic fuel pumps in the USA to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit and performance. The 40105 is sold as a new, non-remanufactured unit with a solid-state architecture that reduces moving-part failures common to diaphragm pumps.

• Designed, engineered, and made in the USA
• Meets or exceeds OEM fit and performance specs
• Not remanufactured — new unit
• Solid-state construction for fewer mechanical wear points

Who is this for: The Facet Solid State Fuel Pump 40105 is aimed at technicians, hobbyists, and equipment owners needing a compact, low-power pump for light to moderate fuel delivery—such as small marine engines, generators, classic cars, custom builds, and auxiliary fuel systems. Choose this model when you need broad fuel compatibility, low electrical draw, and a straightforward installation where external check valves or anti-siphon measures can be added if required.
