Facet-Purolator Facet Cube 12V Fuel Pump Kit FEP288SV — 1/8 NPT, 3–4.5 psi, 32 GPH max

The Facet FEP288SV is a compact 12-volt solid-state cube fuel pump kit designed to supply low-pressure fuel to engines up to roughly 150 HP, delivering reliable flow with minimal electrical draw.

This complete kit includes the Facet cube pump (model 40288), mounting hardware, and adapter fittings sized for 5/16" ID rubber fuel hose. Engineered without diaphragms or seals that commonly wear out, the solid-state design provides long service life, quiet operation, and low current consumption — about 1 amp at 12 volts. It accepts gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, E85 and blended alcohol fuels, plus common fuel additives.

How much fuel can this pump move and at what pressure?

The Facet FEP288SV delivers a maximum free-flow rate of 32 gallons per hour and typically provides about 15 gallons per hour at 2 psi. Operating pressure ranges from approximately 3 to 4.5 psi, making it well-suited for low-pressure carbureted or gravity-feed systems.

• Maximum flow: 32 gallons per hour (free-flow)
• Typical flow: 15 gallons per hour at 2 psi
• Operating pressure range: 3–4.5 psi
• Ports: 1/8" NPT female inlet and outlet

What fuels and additives are supported by the Facet cube pump?

This pump is built to be chemically compatible with a wide range of fuels. It works with gasoline, diesel, biodiesel blends, and alcohol fuels up to E85, plus common fuel system additives used for cleaning or stabilization.

• Compatible: gasoline, diesel, biodiesel
• Alcohol blends: supports E85 and other blended alcohol fuels
• Safe with typical fuel additives and stabilizers

What electrical and installation details should I know?

The FEP288SV is designed for simple installation and low electrical demand. The pump draws about 1 amp at 12 V, includes a ground wire with ring terminal and a positive lead with a Packard connector, and comes with mounting bolts and adapter fittings for 5/16" ID hose.

• Voltage: 12 volts DC; current draw ~1 amp
• Wiring: ground with ring terminal; positive with Packard connector
• Mounting hardware and 5/16" hose adapters included

Does the pump prevent fuel from running back to the tank or siphoning?

An internal check valve in the pump stops fuel from draining back into the tank, helping maintain prime. However, this unit does not include an anti-siphon valve, so fuel may be drawn through the pump when the system is shut off if an external anti-siphon device is not used.

• Built-in check valve prevents backflow to tank
• No anti-siphon valve included — external anti-siphon recommended if needed
• 60 inch dry lift capability exceeds many cube-style pumps

Who is this for? The Facet FEP288SV pump kit suits hobbyists, restorers, and light-duty vehicle or small-engine applications that require a dependable, low-pressure fuel supply (typical use up to ~150 HP). It's ideal when low electrical draw, broad fuel compatibility (including E85), and a compact cube form factor are priorities. Choose this kit when you need an easy-to-install, maintenance-friendly pump for carbureted engines, auxiliary fuel systems, or retrofit projects where quiet, efficient fuel delivery matters.
