Enjoy an easy fuel injection upgrade with the Force Fuel System from FiTech. The 50004 Force system connects simply to a stock mechanical or electric fuel pump, then supplies the EFI system with high pressure through the use of an internal 340-lph pump. No new feed line to run from the tank!

With its strong, versatile mounting bracket, the Force Fuel System mounts under and is fed by the original fuel pump. The assembly holds half a gallon of fuel, enough to submerge the electric fuel pump and keep it cool for long life and no chance of fuel starvation. An internal regulator keeps the pressure at a consistent 58 psi—ideal for reliable EFI performance.

FiTech includes a serviceable 10-micron fuel filter to keep even the finest debris away from the injectors, plus an easy-to-view fuel pressure gauge, 5’ of high-pressure fuel hose, AN fittings, clamps, and heavy-duty wire terminals.

Features

  • Designed specifically to fuel FiTech EFI systems (and other brands)
  • For use with E-85-, alcohol-, or methanol-based fuels
  • Sturdy, versatile mounting bracket for a side or bottom mount
  • 340-lph fuel pump and internal regulator for reliable fuel supply
  • Supports the fuel demands of up to 800-hp gasoline engines
  • Increased fuel capacity over other systems (no chance of cavitation)
  • Effective 10-micron serviceable filter
  • Comes with high-pressure fuel hose, AN fittings, return line fitting bung, and liquid-filled gauge
