Alright, let’s talk reconditioned fuel pumps — because “yeah just throw a reco pump in it” is only good advice if you’re into spending twice. Whether you’re keeping it mild, building a reliable tow rig, or chasing boost-fueled chaos, picking the right fuel pump matters. A lot.
So — Standard, 10mm Boost Comp, or 12mm Boost Comp? Let’s break it down so your engine doesn’t.
🔧 1. Standard Reconditioned Pump
For: Daily drivers, stock setups, or mild upgrades
Your no-fuss, factory-spec pump. Fully rebuilt to OEM standards — ready to replace that tired old unit and keep your rig running clean.
Use it if:
- You’re sticking with stock power
- You want reliability over thrills
- You just want your damn ute to work again
The vibe: No surprises. No smoke. Just start, go, and repeat.
💨 2. 10mm Boost Compensated Pump
For: Light mods, towing, touring, and all-round daily duties
This one’s the sweet spot. Our boost compensated 10mm injection pumps are tuned for a balance of drivability and fuel economy. Think smart power — enough to tow, tour, and get a bit rowdy without roasting your internals.
- Delivers extra fuel as boost comes on
- Keeps EGTs and engine stress in check
Perfect if you’re running:
- A modest turbo upgrade with an intercooler setup
- A reliable touring/towing setup
- A daily driver that doesn’t want to die on a hill
The vibe: Smooth, controlled, and just enough grunt to remind people it’s not stock.
🐷 3. 12mm Boost Compensated Pump
For: Power builds, dyno warriors, or those who like their fuel bill spicy
This is where things get serious.
This isn’t just a big pump — it’s a weapon.
- Available in pre-set fuel delivery volumes to suit estimated power setups
- Custom built and calibrated for your setup
⚠️ BUT — this is performance territory. Don’t bolt one on your clapped-out stocker and expect it to live happily ever after, supporting mods are essential
The vibe: Big power, big risk, big reward — if you need any advice we have done the homework.
🧠 So… Which One Should You Choose?
| Pump Type | Use Case | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Reco | Stock daily, maintenance | general no-fuss rigs |
| 10mm Boost Comp | Mild builds, towing, all-rounders | Tradie in a hurry, Tourers, weekend rigs |
| 12mm Boost Comp | Performance builds, dyno queens, high boost | Power chasers, upgraded internals, performance setups |
👇 Bottom Line
Fuel pumps aren’t one-size-fits-all — and throwing the biggest one at your engine without the supporting mods is a guaranteed way to end up on a tow truck.
