5. Using the above typical fuel system diagrams as a guide line, connect the fuel tank or cell to the high
capacity 100 micron filter, using an AN-06 or AN-08 fuel line. Connect the filter outlet to the fuel pump
inlet (see Flow arrow on pump). These sections of fuel line should be as large a diameter and short as
possible to reduce the tendencies for vapor lock, cavitation, and premature wear of your Aeromotive
fuel pump. Finally connect the outlet side of the fuel pump to your fuel pressure regulator, using AN-06
fuel line. We recommend using a Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, Call us for details.
Note: Be sure to route all electrical wires clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain
components and any exhaust components! Protect wires from abrasion and road obstructions or
debris.
6. Connect electrical power (12 VDC) to the pump. Make sure you use stranded, insulated copper wire,
in the sizes shown, with matching crimp-type connectors for all connections. CAUTION: The pump
must not be connected directly to the battery. Connect the green wire from the fuel pump to a
switched +12 volt source and the black wire to a clean ground as shown in the following diagram:
7. Attach a suitable fuel pressure gauge to the fuel system pressure regulator.
8. Ensure that any spilled fuel and any fuel soaked shop towels are cleaned up and removed from the
vicinity of the vehicle.
CAUTION: While performing the following steps, if any fuel leaks are detected, immediately turn
the fuel pump OFF, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak(s) before proceeding!
9. Turn the fuel pump ON without starting the engine , allow the pump to run for several seconds and
check the fuel pressure. If there is no pressure, turn the fuel pump OFF, wait one minute, then turn
the fuel pump ON and recheck the pressure. Repeat this fuel pump OFF and ON procedure until the
gauge registers pressure or you detect a fuel leak. It may be necessary to loosen the fuel line fitting at
the pressure regulator to bleed off excessive air in the system. If no pressure is registered on the
gauge after running the pump for several seconds and you have found no leaks, check all fuel and
electrical connections to determine the cause. Tighten any fuel line fittings which where loosened and
ensure that any spilled fuel is cleaned up and removed from the vicinity of the vehicle.
10. Once the fuel pressure gauge registers pressure, turn the pump on and start the engine. The gauge
on the fuel pressure regulator should register between 3 and 12 psi. If you have installed an
adjustable fuel pressure regulator, adjust it to the desired setting.
11. Shut the engine off. Using suitable clips and other mounting hardware, secure the newly installed fuel
lines and electrical wires by attaching them to the vehicle chassis.
12. Test drive the vehicle to insure proper operation and re-check the fuel system for leaks. If any leaks
are found, immediately discontinue use of the vehicle and repair the leak(s)!
