INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Installation of this product requires detailed knowledge of automotive systems and repair procedures. We
recommend that this installation be carried out by a qualified automotive technician.
Installation of this product requires handling of gasoline. Ensure you are working in a well ventilated area
with an approved fire extinguisher nearby. Extinguish all open flames, prohibit smoking and eliminate all sources
of ignition in the area of the vehicle before proceeding with the installation.
When installing this product, wear eye goggles and other safety apparel as needed to protect yourself
from debris and sprayed gasoline.
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.
The enclosed Aeromotive fuel pump utilizes o-ring sealed AN-08 style inlet and AN-06 outlet ports; these ports are NOT
PIPE THREAD and utilize NO THREAD SEALANT.
A high capacity, 100 micron fuel filter must be installed between the fuel tank and pump inlet. We recommend an
Aeromotive p/n 12304 filter. Call us for info.
The enclosed Aeromotive fuel pump does not utilize a check valve on the pumps outlet. If your application requires a
check valve on the fuel pump outlet please order Aeromotive p/n 15106.
To use this pump in your vehicle’s fuel system, we strongly recommend the following:
A by-pass style fuel pressure regulator must be used in the system.
Gravity feed the pump by mounting it lower than and as close as possible to the fuel tank.
If you are using a stock fuel tank, install a reservoir style sump in the bottom-rear of your fuel
tank. Exercise extreme caution and follow all manufacturer’s recommendations when
installing a reservoir style sump.
If you choose not to install a reservoir style sump, then you must install a high flow capacity
fuel tank pickup.(Installing a high flow pickup instead of a reservoir style sump may
shorten the fuel pump life and cause driveability problems. Stock fuel tanks have a small
inlet reservoir that is quickly emptied by a high flow fuel system, causing pump starvation
and cavitation. When using a pickup, you should maintain at least ½ tank of fuel in the
vehicle at all times, to avoid emptying the stock inlet reservoir.)
Utilize AN-08 size high pressure fuel lines, fittings and o-rings for all connections from the
fuel tank pickup to the fuel rails in the engine compartment. (Call Aeromotive for availability.)
Failure to follow the above recommendations 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!
Aeromotive system components are not legal for sale or use on emission controlled motor vehicles.
