Solenoid pumps, the most widely used universal type, are designed to fit many universal applications. They’re available in many different pressure ranges and for 12-volt and 24-volt applications.

Federal-Mogul's Carter® brand Solenoid pumps allow fuel to flow through the pump even when the pump is not energized. The Solenoid pump uses a piston actuated by an electromagnetic coil, rather than a motor, to generate fuel pressure and flow.

These pumps use only short pulses of electricity, making them very energy-efficient. In addition, Solenoid pumps have no internal rubber parts or bellows to wear out, so they can last a long time.
