The enclosed Aeromotive Fuel System Kit is designed to give the end user a basic EFI fuel system, excluding the AN fuel lines and hose ends. It is intended to support a return-style, dual-fuel rail V-8 EFI application. The kit includes an AN-08 Y-Block in order to support dual fuel rail engines, plumbed in parallel, for optimum fuel flow and pressure control. A return line of AN-08 or 1/2” minimum size must be installed from the regulator back to the tank, after which base fuel pressure will be adjustable in a range between 30-120 PSI. The included regulator also provides a 1:1 ratio vacuum/boost reference, making the system suitable for all EFI engines, both Naturally Aspirated and Forced Induction. This installation instruction provides a diagram that outlines the overall layout of the fuel system intended with the enclosed components. The system diagram illustrates the components used, their locations relative to each other, and about fuel flow, including general fuel line routing and the AN fuel line sizes required. This is a system overview. Please refer to each component’s installation instructions for detailed installation help with that particular component. Please contact Aeromotive for any recommendations on fuel line or additional fitting requirements. Failure to follow the above recommendations may result in fuel leakage, bursting of the fuel lines, poor vehicle performance, and/or decreased fuel pump life! Improper installation will void all warranties for this product!

General Guidelines

General Installation Cautions and Guidelines:

CAUTION: Ensure all components are mounted, and fuel lines are routed through the chassis per the diagram, and in a manner to clear any exhaust system components, especially exhaust headers, turbocharger down-pipes, mufflers, and tail-pipes, etc.
CAUTION: Ensure all components are mounted, and fuel lines are routed through the chassis per the diagram, and in a manner to safely clears any suspension components in the vehicle.
CAUTION: Ensure all components are mounted, and fuel lines are routed through the chassis per the diagram, and in a manner to safely clear any transmission, bell-housing, and or drive-line components.
CAUTION: Pressurize the fuel system and thoroughly check for fuel leaks, repairing any leaks found first, before cranking and/or starting the engine. Once the engine is running, again carefully check for fuel leaks, shutting down the vehicle immediately if necessary to perform any required repairs.
GUIDELINE: Mount the fuel pressure regulator in the engine bay, as close to the fuel rail/carb as possible.
GUIDELINE: Terminate the main, 10-gauge power for the included fuel pump wiring harness directly from the back of the alternator charging stud, or directly off the battery (+) post. Terminate the 10-gauge fuel pump ground wire to either end of the battery ground (-) cable, at the battery or chassis connection point.
GUIDELINE: Acquire and install quality AN-style hose and hose ends. Teflon or PTFE-based fuel line, though more costly, offers both long service life and resistance to permeation or vapor walk (where fuel vapors can “walk” through the line and contribute fuel smell to the area around where the car is stored).
