General Information
Optional Equipment Compatibility
While VMAC strives to design systems compatible with optional OEM equipment
(such as running boards), it is impractical to develop systems that
accommodate every OEM and aftermarket option or add-on. Whenever possible,
VMACendeavors to advise of compatibility issues in the “Additional Application
Information” section of the manual. Even when specific optional equipment is
determined by VMAC to be incompatible, it does not preclude the vehicle
upfitter or end user from modifying the optional equipment to make it
compatible with the installed VMAC system. VMAC does not warrant or accept
responsibility or liability for the fitment, function, or safety of any
products modified in any way not expressly outlined in the installation
manual.
Before Starting
Read this manual prior to beginning the installation to ensure familiarity
with the components and how they will fit on the vehicle. Identify any
variations from the application list such as vehicle model, engines, or
optional equipment (e.g., dual alternator, active steering assist, etc.).
Open the package, unpack the components and identify them using the
Illustrated Parts List (IPL) included in the Fastener Pack.
Hose Information
Depending on other installed equipment, it might be necessary to move the
air/oil separation tank from its intended location. The hoses used in VMAC
compressor systems have a specific inner liner that is compatible with VMAC
compressor oil. Use of hoses other than those supplied or recommended by VMAC
may cause compressor damage and may void your warranty. Please contact VMAC
for replacement hoses and further information.
Ordering Parts To order parts, contact a VMAC dealer. The dealer will ask
for the VMAC serial number, part number, description and quantity. Locate the
nearest dealer online at www.vmacair.com/dealer-
locator or call 1-877-912-6605.
Special Tools Required
- None. All fasteners must be torqued to specifications. Use manufacturers’ torque values for OEM fasteners.
The torque values supplied in Table 1 are intended for VMAC supplied components, or for use as a guide in the absence of a torque value provided by an OEM.
| Apply Loctite 242 (blue) to all fasteners (except nylon lock nuts)
unless otherwise stated. Damage Table

Electrical System Best Practices
- To confirm a good ground, use an ohm meter to measure the resistance between the ground point and the negative battery terminal. Resistance should be less than 1 Ω.
- Route all wires to ensure they will not contact hot, sharp or moving parts (including the park brake mechanism, steering column, and pedals).
- Before drilling any holes ensure there are no OEM wires, hoses, or components that may be damaged.
- Do not use a test light to probe for power on vehicle circuits, the increased current draw of the test light may damage components.
- VMAC recommends using only sealed crimp and solder butt connectors for all electrical connections.
- To ensure a durable connection, use only good quality crimping tools.
- Apply loom to all wiring:
- Use high temperature loom in areas where high temperatures may be expected.
- Use spiral loom in areas with high vibration.
In-line Butt Splice Connections
- Cut the wire approximately 2 in from the connector.
- Strip approximately 3/8 in from the end of both sides of the cut wire, as well as from the end of the wire being spliced in-line.
- Twist the wire to be spliced in-line, together with the “live” side of the wire (not the wire attached to the connector).
- Slide the butt connector onto the twisted wires and crimp it.
- Insert the “connector side” of the wire into butt connector and crimp it.
- Lightly tug the wires to ensure they are properly crimped.
- Using a heat gun, carefully apply heat to the butt connectors to seal the connection.
Tying into OEM connectors
Some OEM connectors may have locking tabs that must be disengaged prior to
inserting a crimped connector.
Maintenance and Repair Safety
| Prior to performing any service, ensure the transmission in “PARK” with the
parking brake applied and the wheels chocked.
---|---
| It is impossible to warn of all the possible hazards that may result from
operating, servicing, or repairing this system. Wear all appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment and follow all industry standard safety practices.
| Confirm that the system is depressurized and has cooled prior to performing
any service work.
| Never use flammable solvents to clean any components. If a flammable solvent
has been used, rinse the component thoroughly
with water and dry it before reinstalling it to prevent the possibility of
explosion.
| Use only genuine VMAC parts to maintain the system. Genuine VMAC parts are
designed to work with the high pressure and heat generated by the compressor.
Substituting genuine VMAC parts may void the warranty and could cause
equipment damage, injury, or death.
| This information is intended for people with mechanical trade certification
who have the tools and equipment to properly and safely perform the service or
repair. Do not attempt to service or repair this system without the
appropriate mechanical training, knowledge and experience.
Follow all safety precautions and industry standard “best practices”.
Safety Check List
- Open the ball valve or connect an air tool to the system to ensure all the stored air is released.
- Gently pull up on the ring on the pressure relief valve to confirm the system is depressurized.
| Do not use the pressure relief valve as a means of depressurizing the
compressor system. Doing so will prematurely wear the internal spring
or the seat, preventing the valve from maintaining normal system
pressure.
---|---
Installation
| Ensure there is an ABC rated fire extinguisher within reach.
---|---
Mounting Parameters
- This is a pusher pump and must be mounted within 3 feet of the bottom of the fuel tank (Figure 1).
- Ensure the fuel pump is mounted where the temperature will not exceed 140° F (60° C).
- If tying in to the vehicle’s fuel tank, do not tap into the lower portion of the tank.
- The fuel pump can be mounted Vertically, at a 45° angle, or horizontally (Figure 2).
| Only fuel line rated for gasoline, and that meets EPA and CARB evaporative
emission regulations (Executive Order Number Q-19-011) may be used. The fuel
pump is a pusher pump. It must be mounted within 3 feet of the bottom of the
fuel tank.
---|---
| All wires and hoses that are installed, rerouted or shifted during the
installation must be secure so that they do not contact any hot, sharp or
moving parts. Use rubber coated P-clips or cable ties wherever possible.
Mounting the Fuel Pump
-
Ensure the key switch is in the OFF position and remove the service panel.
-
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
-
Using the fuel pump as a jig, mark and drill (×2) 7/32 in holes into the frame in the desired location (Figure 3).
-
Mount the fuel pump in the selected location (fasteners not included) (Figure 3).
-
Install the supplied fuel filter on the inlet side of the pump (Figure 4).
-
Install the supplied fuel line fitting on the outlet side of the pump (Figure 5).
-
Using gasoline compatible fuel hose (not included), connect the fuel filter to the fuel tank, and Gas MF.
-
Locate the 2 pin fuel pump connector on the GMF wire harness labeled “Fuel Pump” (the harness is located among the main harnesses bundle near the air discharge).
-
Connect the supplied blunt cut harness to the fuel pump connector.
-
Cut the blade and ring connectors from the fuel pump. Using the supplied butt connectors, connect the following wires*:
-
*Red wire running from the fuel pump to the red wire on the fuel pump harness.
-
*Black wire running from the fuel pump to the black wire on the fuel pump harness.
Note: Dependant upon the fuel pump location, the harness wires may need to be extended in order to reach the fuel pump connector. -
Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
*Prime the Fuel System:** -
*Turn the key switch to the “ON” position. The fuel pump will click while the system is being primed.
-
*Once the fuel pump stops clicking, the system has been primed. Turn the key switch to the “OFF” position.
-
*Turn the key switch to the “ON” position.
-
*Press the “ENTER” button to start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
-
Check the system for any leaks.
