1-11. Position the fuel pump / filter assembly from above on the opposite end of the plastic fuel tank shield as the sump
cutout. Center the pump / filter assembly in all directions on the flat. Using the fuel pump as a guide, mark the four
pump mounting holes. Insure there are no obstructions behind the plastic fuel tank shield and drill four ¼” mounting
holes.

holes. Install each of the four provided flat washers and nuts on the bolts and tighten. The plastic fuel tank shield now
should look similar to the one shown below.
