7. Once the regulator is installed, attach a suitable fuel pressure gauge to the fuel system schrader valve
or the 1/8 NPT port on the fuel pressure regulator.
8. Reattach and reconnect any peripherals that were removed to gain access to the regulator.
9. Ensure that any spilled gasoline and any gasoline soaked shop towels are cleaned up and
removed from the vicinity of the vehicle!
10. Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to the ON position WITHOUT starting the car. After several
seconds, check the fuel pressure. If there is no fuel pressure, turn the ignition key to the OFF position,
wait one minute, return the ignition to the ON position, and recheck the fuel pressure. Repeat this
ignition OFF and ON procedure until the fuel pressure gauge registers fuel pressure.
11. With the fuel pressure gauge registering fuel system pressure, check for fuel leaks from and
around the Aeromotive regulator and all fuel lines and connections near the regulator! If any
fuel leaks are found, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, remove any spilled fuel and
repair the leak before proceeding!
12. Once the fuel pressure gauge registers fuel system pressure and there are no fuel leaks, start the
engine and adjust the regulator to the desired fuel pressure. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise
will increase fuel pressure. OEM regulators are typically set at approximately 43 psi, without the
vacuum line attached. The fuel pressure adjustment range for this regulator is 35-75 psi and we
recommend setting the static pressure (no vacuum) at 48 psi.
13. Once the desired fuel pressure is achieved, tighten the regulator adjustment jam nut and attach the
vacuum line.
14. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool. If the schrader valve was utilized to check fuel system
pressure, remove the fuel pressure gauge and replace the cover on the schrader valve. If the 1/8 NPT
port on the Aeromotive regulator was utilized to check fuel system pressure and you do not want to
keep the fuel pressure gauge on the vehicle, relieve the fuel system pressure as instructed in the
appropriate vehicle service manual. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and reinstall the 1/8 NPT pipe
plug into the regulator gauge port, using thread sealant.
15. Test drive the car to insure proper operation and re-check the fuel system for leaks. If any leaks are
found, immediately shutoff the engine and repair the leak(s)!
