DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY! Excessive wear will result if the pump runs dry.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE PUMP! Disassembly will throw the pump out of calibration and void all warranties on this

1-1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve the fuel system pressure.
1-2. Raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
1-3. Referring to the appropriate vehicle service manual for instructions, drain and disconnect any electrical and fuel
component connections, plug the open fuel line ends and remove the existing pump.
1-4. Find a suitable place on the vehicle chassis to mount the Aeromotive fuel pump. Make sure the location will
accommodate the pump mounting bolts, will position the pump lower than the fuel tank, is clear of the exhaust, is clear
of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and will keep the pump clear of road obstructions or debris.
1-5. Place each of the two AN-10 o-rings on the AN-10 side of the two AN-08 / AN-10 Union Fittings. Thread the AN-10
side of each of the union fittings into each of the AN-10 ports on the fuel filter. Place one of the AN-08 o-rings on the
AN-08 side of the union on the outlet side of the fuel filter and thread the filter into the inlet side of the Aeromotive fuel
pump.
1-6. Making sure to mount the pump in the upright position and using the pump mounting bracket as a template, mark and
drill two mounting holes to accept ¼” bolts (not provided). Mount the pump bracket using two ¼” bolts, nuts and lock
washers (Not provided). Slide the pump into the bracket and tighten the clamping bolt. Do not over-tighten the
clamping bolt. Doing so can permanently damage the pump motor!
Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components, and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.
