Aeromotive 11140 - 340 STEALTH FUEL PUMP CENTER INLET - Manual

11140, 11141, 11142 & 11169 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
The fuel system is under pressure. Do not open the fuel system until the pressure has been safely and
sufficiently relieved. Please refer to the appropriate vehicle service manual for the procedure and precautions
necessary to relieve fuel system pressure safely.
To use this pump in your vehicle’s fuel system, we recommend the following:
•
The factory fuel pump wiring may not be sufficient to handle the current draw of the Aeromotive 340
Stealth pump. To achieve the advertised flow at pressure, the use of an aftermarket wiring kit such as
Aeromotive P/N 16301, including 10-gauge wire and a direct alternator supply point, is required.
•
If you use the existing electrical plug in your tank you must ensure that the polarity is correct for your new
pump. If necessary, re-pin the existing plug or use the included plug with solder and shrink connections.
•
The Aeromotive 340 Stealth pump is the same physical size as many OEM in-tank pumps. This does not
necessarily mean it is suitable for a particular application. Consult the Aeromotive application guide first
to determine if a 340 Stealth Pump is recommended for your car, before proceeding with installation.
• With the high flow rate of the Aeromotive 340 pumps, the fuel pump basket or integral in-tank baffling may
require modifications to allow sufficient inflow from the main tank. Failure of the basket or baffling to
remain full of fuel during high engine load may significantly impede the pump’s performance.
•
Installing a new factory down-stream filter is HIGHLY recommended when installing this pump, and it
should be monitored and serviced as needed to ensure fuel pump performance and service life.
•
Your new Aeromotive 340 Stealth Fuel Pump is only one component part of your automobile’s complete
fuel system. You must ensure the complete fuel system is up to the task of supplying fuel to your engine,
or severe engine damage may result. Contact Aeromotive if you have questions regarding how to
address your complete fuel system, should you have the need.
Failure to follow the above may result in fuel leakage, bursting of the fuel lines, poor vehicle performance and/or
decreased fuel pump life! Improper installation will void all warranties for this product!
CAUTION:
Installation of this product requires detailed knowledge of automotive systems and repair procedures. We
recommend that this installation be carried out by a qualified automotive technician.
Installation of this product requires handling of gasoline. Ensure you are working in a well ventilated area
with an approved fire extinguisher nearby. Extinguish all open flames, prohibit smoking and eliminate all sources
of ignition in the area of the vehicle before proceeding with the installation.
Compatible Fuels:
Pump Gas; Race Gas; E85*
•
Due to the dielectric properties of Alcohol fuel like E85, fuel pump service life will be reduced and filter
maintenance increased. Be certain alcohol compatible filters are installed and frequently maintained.
