Size: Typically ranges from 1/4 inch to 2 inches in diameter, depending on the boat size and fuel system requirements.
Grade: Marine-grade fuel pumps designed to meet ASTM, ISO, or SAE standards for marine applications.
Viscosity: Compatible with fuels ranging from gasoline (low viscosity) to diesel (higher viscosity), typically handling 1-6 cSt.
Buoyancy: Not applicable to fuel pumps; buoyancy is a property of float switches or fuel tank components.
Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, aluminum, or reinforced plastics for saltwater durability.
Flow Rate: Varies from 30 GPH (gallons per hour) for small boats to 200+ GPH for larger vessels.
Pressure Rating: Typically operates between 4-7 PSI for carbureted engines and up to 60 PSI for fuel-injected systems.
Power Supply: 12V or 24V DC, compliant with marine electrical standards (e.g., ABYC, CE).
Temperature Range: -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 93°C) for reliable operation in marine environments.
Certifications: Often UL-Marine, CE, or ISO 8846 certified for safety and performance.
