The following steps are typical of most installations:

1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, relieve the fuel system pressure and disconnect the

negative battery cable.


2. Raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands.

3. Referring to the appropriate vehicle service manual for instructions, remove the OEM fuel pump.

4. Install an after-market fuel tank sump kit, per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: Failure to mount the pump lower than and close to the fuel tank may cause the pump to run
dry, resulting in extreme pump wear! Make sure the pump is located lower than and as close as
possible to the fuel tank, so that the pump is always supplied with fuel!

5. Find a suitable place on the vehicle chassis to mount the Aeromotive fuel pump. Make sure the

location will accommodate the pump mounting bolts, will position the pump lower than the fuel tank, is
clear of the exhaust, is clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and will keep the
pump clear of road obstructions or debris.


6. Using the pump as a template, mark and drill four mounting holes to accept ¼” bolts. Mount the fuel

pump using four ¼” bolts, nuts and lock washers.


Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components, and
any exhaust components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.

7. Connect the fuel tank sump to the fuel filter inlet and the fuel filter outlet to the fuel pump inlet.

8. Connect the fuel pump outlet to the vehicle’s fuel rails in the engine compartment. Make sure you

use high pressure (200 psi minimum) fuel line for this connection!


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. There are several ways to connect electrical power to the pump, depending on your fuel injection

system. Make sure you use stranded, insulated copper wire, in the sizes shown, with matching crimp-
type connectors for all connections.


10. Attach the OEM fuel pump wires, the aftermarket ECM fuel pump wires or your fuel pump switch wires

as shown in the following diagram.
