INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Always be aware of flammable situations. Drilling and grinding can be potential ignition sources. Extinguish all open flames, prohibit smoking and eliminate all sources of ignition in the area of the vehicle and workspace before proceeding with the installation. Ensure you are working in a well ventilated area with an approved fire extinguisher nearby.
• Installation of this product requires modification to a fuel tank/ the fuel system, failure to satisfy all safety considerations will result in fire, explosion, injury and/or loss of life to yourself and/or others. All fuel system components MUST be located as far from heat sources as possible, like exhaust, engine block
• Mechanical and hydraulic lifting devices can tip over or lower accidentally due to incorrect maneuvering or technical errors. A falling object can cause injury and/or loss of life to yourself and/or others. When working under the vehicle, always use stands, and ensure that the ground or floor is stable and level. Never crawl under a vehicle which is only supported by a jack.
• 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.
• When installing this product always wear safety glasses and other appropriate safety appeal. A drilling operation will cause flying metal chips. Flying metal chips can cause eye injury
• 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. Careless installation of this product can result in damage to the product, injury or loss of life to yourself and/or others.

The following steps are typical of most installations:

• Once the engine has been allowed to cool, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve the fuel system pressure.
• Raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
• Referring to the appropriate vehicle service manual for instructions, drain and disconnect any fuel and electrical component connections and remove the OEM fuel tank. The removal of the vehicles exhaust system may be necessary for fuel tank removal.
• Remove the old OEM fuel pump and hanger assembly.
• Install the fuel pump strainer (pre-filter) on the fuel pump
• Place the locking ring gasket in the receiver groove on the tank.
• Place the new Aeromotive fuel pump assembly in the tank. You may find it easiest to insert the pump through the opening and then slide the return line through once the pump is inside the tank.
• Once both the pump and return line are positioned inside the tank, look through the filler tube hole in the side of the tank to ensure that the pump and return line are both inside the fuel tank sump.
• Ensure that the fuel pump locking ring gasket is still poisoned properly in the receiver groove and then install the locking ring.
• Install either ORB-06 x AN flare 90-deg fittings with the AN male sized to match your fuel lines (for AN-06 line use Fragola PN 499206BL; for AN-08 line use Fragola PN 499207BL, or other like fittings)
• Connect the supply and return fuel lines to the new Aeromotive fuel pump assembly. Note: AN-08 lines will be required for carbureted applications, AN-06 or AN-08 lines may be used for EFI applications.
•  Connect the fuel pump power wires to the new Aeromotive fuel pump assembly utilizing supplied ring terminals and insulating boots.
• Make any line or electrical adjustments necessary to clear the vehicles exhaust, suspension, and drivetrain components.
• Ensure that any spilled gasoline and any gasoline soaked shop towels are cleaned up and removed from the vicinity of the vehicle!
• Carefully lower the car onto the ground.
• Fill the fuel tank with gasoline and check for any leaks in the system, if any leaks are found repair immediately.
• CAUTION: While performing the following steps, if any fuel leaks are detected, immediately turn the ignition of OFF, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak(s) before proceeding!
• Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to the ON position WITHOUT starting the car. After several seconds, check the fuel pressure. If there is no fuel pressure, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, wait one minute, return the ignition to the ON position, and recheck the fuel pressure. Repeat this ignition OFF and ON procedure until the fuel pressure gauge registers fuel pressure.
• With the fuel pressure gauge registering fuel system pressure, again check for fuel leaks throughout the entire fuel system! If any fuel leaks are found, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak before proceeding
