Hi everyone,
I am preparing to install the Airtex E7181M in my CRD but when I looked at the specs, I was concerned about possible overpressure issues. Their tech looked at the pump print and informed me that it has a shut off at 10 to 15 psi, which is why their 30psi pump works on our CRD's.. Spec's and email conversation below..
Fuel Pump Module Assembly E7181M

Is it possible to adjust the output pressure of the E7181M? I am going to install an in-tank lift pump for my 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD but I want the max lift pressure to be approximately 10psi. Is this possible? Or is there another fuel module that has similar specs but a lower output pressure?

The fuel pressure will not be able to be adjusted on that fuel pump module and unfortunately we do not offer a fuel pump module for this application.

This is a modification that a lot of the 2005/06 Jeep Liberty CRD owners are doing in order to reduce entrained air and vapor lock of the existing on-engine pump - with good success. I know the E7181M's pump pressure range is 15 to 30. What is the nominal output pressure at 13 volts? The people I am talking to that have used this pump for the mod, did so in 2011. Was the output pressure different for this model of pump at or before that time? I'm going to do the mod but I'm making sure that don't need to add a fuel pressure regulator.

The information I have on the print shows that the shut off (maximum) pressure for the E7181M is 10-15 psi.
