if the inlet port of the system is located above the lowest possible level of fuel in the tank. Additionally, a priming tee
should be installed at the highest point of the suction line to enable priming of the pipelines and system.
The return line(s) should be plumbed to the system’s outlet port (located on the right-hand side of the system) and enter
the tank as far as possible away from the pick-up tube, close to the tank bottom.
Multiple suction and/or return lines may be connected to a manifold outside the system.
Note: Anti-Siphon or other external plumbing devices may be required by state and/or local regulations & code.
Cumulatively, the system capabilities are 10 FT. (3.05 m) suction (vertical lift), when connected to the minimum
recommended piping size (Ref.: Page 4 – Inlet/Outlet Port), or more, with no additional flow restrictions. That includes
valves, 90-degree connectors, or other plumbing accessories. For continuous optimal performance, make sure suction
and discharge lines are free of contamination, nothing is blocking the flow of fuel, and the suction line always stays
primed.
Note: Plumbing installation must be in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local rules, laws, standards, and
regulations.
Typical Plumbing Installation (Schematically)
See provided P&ID drawing(s).
Important Installation Precautions
The suction line of the system should be independent and separate from the suction line of the engine. If that is not
possible, appropriate valves must be installed separate to the system from the engine fuel system to prevent any possible
interference with safe engine operation.
It is highly recommended to plumb the discharge line independent and separate of the engine’s fuel return line back to the
tank. If the return line from the engine and the discharge of the system must be combined in any way, adequate valves
should be installed to prevent any possible interference with safe engine operation.
