Always install a good quality fuel filter on the inlet side of the fuel pump. This will stop any debris from entering and damaging the fuel pump.
Failure to do so will void warranty.
Failure to follow any of the above may result in fuel leakage, bursting of fuel lines, poor vehicle performance and/or decreased
fuel pump life.
Installation Guideline
Always diagnose the cause of failure before replacing any electric fuel pump
Ensure fuel tank, fuel lines and fuel filters are cleaned from debris such as dirt and dust as this may cause the pump to fail.
1.
Disconnect the negative battery
2.
Disconnect the old fuel lines from the fuel pump.
3.
Select the best location to mount the fuel pump. Ensure it is away from extreme heat sources. Mount as close to the fuel tank as
possible. Ensure to use the mounting bracket that is included.
4.
Using the mounting bracket as a template drill two 5/16” (8mm) holes to attach the bracket.
5.
Place rubber gasket (supplied) between the mounting bracket and motor housing and mount the pump in a vertical position (motor
on top) using two 8mm / 5/16” bolts.
6.
Install the fuel pump and mounting bracket to the desired location.
7.
Connect the fuel line from the tank to the filter and the filter to the inlet port of the pump. Connect the carburettor delivery line to
the outlet port of the pump or regulator. Use the same size flexible hose as original equipment. Avoid unnecessary restrictions such
as sharp bends and undersize fuel -filters, fittings and hoses. Avoid routing fuel lines in areas that would cause chafing. All fuel line
connections MUST be leak proof.
I.
WARNING! Do not over tighten the fittings on the fuel pump. Installation torque should not exceed 40 ft./lbs.
This can be achieved by hand tightening the fitting, followed by wrench tightening an additional ¾ of a turn.
Over tightening of the fittings can cause parts to crack as they are a tapered thread! Allowing fuel to leak.
A fuel leak can cause a -re and/or death. THE USE OF A THREAD SEALANT WITH PTFE (Teflon) IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED (prevents Galling). DO NOT USE A SILICONE-BASED SEALANT OR PTFE (Teflon) TAPE.
II.
For performance vehicles, 3/8” or 1/2” I.D hose is recommended. We strongly suggest the use of an Aeroflow fuel-filter
before and after the pump.
III.
If removing a mechanical fuel pump and replacing with this electric fuel pump ensure to purchase a Aeroflow fuel pump
block off plate.
8.
To wire this fuel pump follow the guideline step below :
a)
Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
b)
Connect the fuel pump (orange wire) to a 12V ignition source. In this line, add an in-line fuse holder and 7.5 amp
fuse.
c)
Connect the ground (black wire) to a good ground connection or battery negative.
9.
Start vehicle and check for all leaks and ensure the fuel pump has 12 volts at the source using a multimeter.
