Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice defines the minimum design
verification teting required to verify the suitability of in-tank
mounted electric motor driven fuel pumps used for pumping gasoline
or gasoline blend fuels.
Additional test not specified in SAE J1537 will be required for
frame mounted pump applications or pumps intended for use on
aircraft, motorcycles, or marine equipment.
Purpose
J1537 is intended to provide a nucleus of basic validation tests
which the users and suppliers of electric fuel pumps agree are
required to qualify a particular pump for use with automotive
gasoline fuel injection systems. Numerous tests found in the unique
specifications of both users and suppliers have been omitted from
SAE j1537 because common agreement as to their value could not be
reached. The seven basic test defined in Section 4 include the most
expensive, most time-consuming tests in a validation program. Be
providing an industry wide standard, SAE J1537 reduces the cost of
validation to the benefit of all concerned. However, it is to be
expected that the unique applications and experience of both users
and suppliers will dictate that additional tests be conducted to
complete qualification for any specific application.
