Aeromotive 11108 - MARINE A1000 FUEL PUMP - Manual

11101, 11108 & 11151 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
The fuel system is under pressure. Do not open the fuel system until the pressure has
been relieved. Refer to the appropriate vehicle service manual for the procedure and precautions
for relieving the fuel system pressure.
To use this pump in your vehicle’s fuel system, you must do the following:
• A by-pass style fuel pressure regulator must be used in the system.
• Utilize AN-10 size high pressure fuel lines, fittings and o-rings for all
connections from the fuel tank pickup to the fuel pump.
• To ensure proper fuel pump performance and longevity, mount pump level with
or lower than the bottom, and as close to the tank, as possible.
• Install a 12304 pre-filter and 12301 post filter.
• If you are using a stock fuel tank, install a reservoir sump in the bottom-rear of
your fuel tank. Exercise extreme caution and follow all manufacturers’
recommendations when installing a reservoir sump. (Sump part # 18650)
• Tank/Fuel cell must have at least a ½” tank vent.
• If you choose not to install a reservoir sump, then you must install a high flow
capacity fuel tank pickup (9/16” to 5/8” inner tube diameter). Installing pickup
tube instead of a reservoir sump may shorten the fuel pump life and cause
drivability problems. When using a pickup, you should maintain at least ½ tank
of fuel to avoid possible engine lean-out and/or fuel pump damage.
• For long term driving applications where continuous run times exceed 30
minutes and fuel capacity is less then 10 gallons, Aeromotive recommends the
installation of a Fuel Pump Speed Controller to maintain lower fuel
temperatures in the tank. See Aeromotive Fuel Pump Speed Controller 16306.
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!
