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.)
The following steps are typical of most installations:
Section 1 - Fuel pump installation
