How Aeromotive's Pump Rebuild Program Works

Updated

Aeromotive's official site lists a Pump Rebuild program that provides "complete fuel pump evaluation and rebuild," described as "easy as 1,2,3." That makes it a path worth considering if you already own an Aeromotive pump that has stopped performing and you'd rather have it evaluated and rebuilt than replace it outright. The site does not publish the program's pricing, turnaround time, or shipping instructions, so the practical first step is to call Aeromotive directly at 913-808-2376 to confirm eligibility, cost, and how to send the pump in.

What the program covers

Based on the site's own description, the program has two parts:

  • Evaluation — the pump is inspected to determine its condition and whether a rebuild is viable.
  • Rebuild — the pump is restored rather than replaced with a new unit.

The site presents this as a complete service ("Complete fuel pump evaluation and rebuild"), which suggests the evaluation and the rebuild are handled as one process rather than two separate transactions. It does not specify which pump models qualify, what parts are replaced during a rebuild, or whether the rebuilt pump carries any warranty.

Who this is for

The rebuild route tends to make sense in a few specific situations:

Situation Why rebuild may fit
You own an Aeromotive pump that has failed or degraded The program is built around Aeromotive's own pumps
The pump is discontinued or hard to source new A rebuild keeps a known part in service
You want the original pump back rather than a different model Rebuild returns your unit, not a substitute
You're maintaining a build where the pump was spec'd for the setup Avoids re-plumbing or re-tuning around a new pump

If your pump is still under warranty, or if the failure was caused by contamination or a wiring fault elsewhere in the system, a rebuild may not address the underlying cause — worth raising on the call before shipping anything.

How to start the process

The site gives the phone number as the contact point for technical help, and the rebuild program is listed alongside it. A practical sequence:

  1. Call 913-808-2376. Describe your pump (model, part number if you have it) and what it's doing — no pressure, low pressure, noise, dead, etc.
  2. Confirm eligibility and terms. Ask whether your specific pump qualifies, what the rebuild includes, the cost, and the expected turnaround.
  3. Get shipping instructions. The site does not publish a return address or RMA process, so ask how Aeromotive wants the pump sent and whether a form or reference number is needed.
  4. Send the pump. Follow whatever instructions you're given; keep tracking information.
  5. Wait for the evaluation result. Because the program includes evaluation, expect that Aeromotive may come back with a finding — including the possibility that the pump isn't rebuildable.

Common sticking points

  • No published pricing. The site shows prices for new pumps and systems but not for the rebuild service. Don't assume it's cheaper than a new pump until you've asked.
  • No published turnaround. If the vehicle is a daily driver or you have an event coming up, ask about lead time before committing.
  • Eligibility is unstated. The program is described generally; whether it covers every Aeromotive pump, or only certain lines, isn't specified on the page.
  • Diagnosis matters. If the real problem is upstream — a clogged filter, a failing controller, a voltage drop — a rebuilt pump may fail again. The evaluation step is where that should surface, so be specific about symptoms when you call.

Rebuild vs. replace

The site's product listings give you a sense of what replacement costs, which is useful context when you call:

  • A1000 In-Line Fuel Pump (Part Number 11101) — listed at $549.02
  • 10.0 GPM Brushless In-Line Fuel Pump with True Variable Speed Controller (Part Number 11198) — listed at $2,505.89
  • Compact EFI Fuel Pressure Regulator (Part Number 13129–13136) — listed at $208.60

These are new-part prices, not rebuild prices, and they cover different product categories — so treat them only as a rough sense of scale. The rebuild decision should come down to what Aeromotive quotes you for your specific pump versus the cost of the equivalent new unit, plus how quickly you need the car back on the road.

If you're weighing a rebuild against a new pump, the phone call is the deciding step: it's the only place the site points you for both technical help and the rebuild program, and it's where you'll get the numbers the website doesn't provide.
