adapter fitting into the factory female supply hose
fitting by gently pushing the fittings together and
making sure they are locked.
F. Attach the supplied 1/2" fuel hose to the pump
inlet and the inlet hose adapter fitting. Use the
supplied #4 clamps to secure both ends. Cut

filter by looping the two 11" cable ties through the
front slot on the fuel filter mount, being careful not
to kink the line.

discharge line onto the fuel filter inlet making sure
the hose assembly clears all exhaust tubing and
sharp objects.

the stock fuel pump harness in the trunk near the

wire may be brownish-green.)

the (+) terminal on the fuel pump.
L. Connect the longer black wire from the (-) terminal
on the fuel pump to a clean ground.
M. Connect the short black wire to a clean ground
from relay terminal #86 (relay screw mount works
well).

the supplied fuse holder and fuse to the end of the
wire. Crimp the fuse wire to the supplied female
slide and fuse tap. Attach fuse tap and wire to
