Since 1997, Auto Performance Engineering has been THE place to find a Walbro fuel pump!
Watch out for imposters!
February 2013
Johnson announced a significant price increase for the CM90 circulation pumps. Our pump costs increased by over 30 percent.
May 2012
Walbro announced a significant price increase for the FR Series fuel pumps. Some of our pump costs increased by 40 percent. Sorry, folks, we can't give them away.
January 2012
Walbro recently released the FRA-4 pump [8.0-13.0 psi / 32 gal/hr] and the FRA-13 pump [12.5-16.5 psi / 50 gal/hr]. Check-out the FR Series page for full line.
We are closing-out all ATI ePods in stock. Only $60 each - Click here
July 2011
We now keep the 24V version of the Johnson CM90P7-1 pump in stock - the one with 20mm [.75 in] fittings. Check-out the Intercooler pump page for full line.
Feb 2011
Walbro released a new FR Series pump that should be great for the Cummins owners and the Duramax owners. The new FRC-10 pump can push 50 gal/hr @ 12.5-16.5 psi. Check-out the FR Series page for full line.
May 2010
Walbro announced a significant price increase for the FR Series fuel pumps. Some of our pump costs increased by over 85 percent. Sorry, folks, we can't give them away.
March 2010
Walbro just released a line of High Performance in-tank modules for newer GM trucks. Check 'em out
April 2009
We've often wondered why NAPA and others sell the SAE J30R10 hose for over $20 for a one foot section, but we can get a 6-inch piece for a lot less. We just learned that the high-pressure, in-tank hose that Walbro uses in all their kits, and that we sell individually, is not SAE J30R10 certified. It is rated for high-pressure, in-tank use, but is only made to a certain Chrysler Corp spec. We will continue to sell the hose we get from Walbro, but we'll now note it as not-quite-J30R10 hose.
We found SAE J30R10 hose on a reel! After many years of working on it, we convinced a major manufacturer of hose to NOT cut the J30R10 hose. Before now, all manufacturers cut their hose into 1-foot pieces. We will cut you off as much or as littl as you need. You'll find the hose on the "Install Parts" page.
March 2009
We found a 15-inch flex hose for those instances when 8 inches is not enough. You can find the new flex hose on the "Install Parts" page.
LPE's exclusive contract with Walbro for the C5 Corvette fuel pump upgrade has expired. You can find the C5 Corvette fuel upgrade pump module on the C5 pump page.
November 2008
Walbro engineering has resolved the F20000169 fuel pump problem. We have a supply of the new F20000169 pumps in stock.
October 2008
Walbro engineering has discovered the problem with the F20000169 fuel pumps. They are getting the parts to fix the problem. The warehouse should have the pumps by the middle of November. Then, they'll have to ship them to the distributors. We should get more of those pumps by the end of November.
All F20000169 pumps that are returned will be tested. In the past, Walbro has had over 98 percent of returned pumps run on the test bench as OKAY. Not all pumps will have the problem. Any pumps that are tested to be OKAY will be returned to you. This is NOT an across-the-board recall as far as I know.
Walbro engineering is trying to identify a timeframe when the problem parts got into production pumps. As far as they can tell, any pump manufactured before the 2nd quarter 2008 should be okay. If your manufacture date is before that, they currently don't have a clear reason to swap it out.
