Designed without diaphragms or traditional seals, the Facet 40105 uses an electronic pumping mechanism that keeps electrical draw minimal (around 1 amp at 12 volts) and reduces routine maintenance. It is engineered to work with gasoline, alcohol blends including E85, diesel, biodiesel, and common fuel additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much fuel flow and pressure can I expect from the 40105?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40105 can provide a maximum flow rating near 30 gallons per hour under ideal conditions, with typical operation around 20 GPH at low system pressure. Working pressures are intentionally low to suit fuel delivery and transfer applications rather than high-pressure injection systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum reported flow: up to 30 gallons per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommon operating flow: ~20 GPH at approximately 2 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUsable pressure range: about 3 to 4.5 psi maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich fuels and environments is this pump compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump is chemically tolerant to a broad set of fuels, making it versatile for automotive, marine, and small machinery uses.

That means fuel can flow freely through the unit when it is not powered, so system design should account for possible backflow or siphoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePorts: 1\/8\" NPT female for inlet and outlet fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo built-in check or anti-siphon valve—external valve recommended if backflow is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum dry lift: about 12 inches vertical under dry conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the power requirements and durability features?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40105 runs at 12 volts and draws very little current—typically around 1 amp—making it suitable for vehicles and projects where electrical load is limited.

The Facet Solid State Fuel Pump 40105 is ideal for hobbyists, builders, and technicians needing a compact, low-power pump for fuel delivery on small engines, classic cars, hot rods, small boats, generators, or custom fuel systems that operate at low pressure. It suits installations that require broad fuel compatibility and minimal electrical draw, provided your system accounts for its lack of an internal check valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the Facet 40105 work with E85?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
