Aeromotive 11202 - A2000 CARBURETED FUEL PUMP - Manual (Page 3)

6. Connect the AN-10 fuel pump outlet to the inlet of your Aeromotive 10 micron fuel filter (10 micron for
gas and 40 micron for alcohol) and the fuel filter outlet to your fuel line. Next, connect the other end of
the fuel line to the pressure regulator in the vehicle’s engine compartment (call us for regulator
recommendations).
7. If using a “dead head” style fuel system connect the AN-8 by-pass port to a return line that goes back
into the fuel cell. The return line must go into the top of the fuel cell and direct fuel away from the inlet
for your fuel pump. Attach suitable fuel pressure gauges to the fuel system pressure regulator and the
pressure gauge port on the Aeromotive pump.
8. Insure that any spilled fuel and any fuel soaked shop towels are cleaned up and removed from the
vicinity of the vehicle!
Note: Be sure to route all electrical wires clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain
components and any exhaust components! Protect wires from abrasion and road obstructions or
debris.
9. Connect electrical power (12 VDC) to the pump. Make sure you use stranded, insulated copper wire,
in the sizes shown, with matching crimp-type connectors for all connections. CAUTION: The pump
must not be connected directly to the battery. Connect the Aeromotive fuel pump as shown in the
following diagram:
CAUTION: While performing the following steps, if any fuel leaks are detected, immediately turn
the fuel pump OFF, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak(s) before proceeding!
10. Turn the fuel pump ON without starting the engine , allow the pump to run for several seconds and
check the fuel pressure. If there is no pressure, turn the fuel pump OFF, wait one minute, then turn
the fuel pump ON and recheck the pressure. Repeat this fuel pump OFF and ON procedure until the
gauge registers pressure or you detect a fuel leak. It may be necessary to loosen the fuel line fitting at
the pressure regulator to bleed off excessive air in the system. Tighten any fuel line fittings which
where loosened and insure that any spilled fuel is cleaned up and removed from the vicinity of the
vehicle. If no pressure is registered on the gauge after running the pump for several seconds and you
have found no leaks, check all fuel and electrical connections to determine the cause.
11. Once the fuel pressure gauge registers pressure, start the engine. The gauge on the fuel pressure
regulator should register between 3 and 12 psi. If you have installed an adjustable fuel pressure
regulator, adjust it to the desired setting.
