D. Drop down the fuel tank by loosening the filler neck and the

two tank mounting straps. (There is no need to disconnect

any of the wiring or to completely remove the tank.)

from the tank to the fuel filter. Remove the 90° plastic fitting

from the feed hose and set aside.

F. Attach one end of the supplied fuel line with connections to

the fuel tank pickup (see below). Route the hose around to

the front of the tank in the factory manner.

G. Place the Vortech supplied fuel adapter fitting, located in the

the tank. Make sure that the white plastic retainer clip is in

place.

fuel lines and vent lines away from exhaust pipes and provide

room so that lines are not crushed between the floor pan

and the tank.
