Installation: Fuel Pick-up Tube
A fuel pick-up tube will need to be installed in the
vehicle’s fuel tank or an independent fuel tank
depending on what the installation calls for. Sealant
is not required to fit the pick-up tubes.
Depending on the pick-up tube provided in the kit,
you will need to install the pick-up tube in one of two
ways.
Pick-up Tube: Option 1 (GC0101)
To Install this type of Pick-up Tube:

Drill a hole in the top of the
vehicle’s fuel tank Φ22 ± 0.2mm in
size. Ensure it is smooth and clean
of burrs

Remove the top nut and washers
and bend the standpipe straight

Cut the standpipe down to size if
necessary

Fit the standpipe by tilting it into
position into the newly drilled
hole

Place the rubber and metal
washers back on top followed by
the nut and tighten it securely on
top
Pick-up Tube: Option 2 (GC0100)
To Install this type of Pick-up Tube:

If possible, remove the sender
unit from the vehicle’s fuel tank,
this will make it easier to attach
the nut securely back onto the
pick-up tube.

Drill a Φ6 ± 0.2mm hole into the
sender unit
 Remove the nut from the pick-up
tube and feed it through the hole
ensuring the rubber ‘o’ ring
remains on the pick-up tube
‘head’ side

Replace the nut on the standpipe
to secure it safely to the sender
unit

Replace the sender unit into the
fuel tank.
The bottom of the fuel standpipe should be 30-40
mm from the bottom of the fuel tank to allow
enough suction of fuel and at the same time not
allow impurities and sediment to be drawn up the
standpipe.
Electrical Components
Make sure that all electrical components are
arranged in the vehicle so that they function correctly
under normal heater operations. Firstly, ensure that
no wires are damaged in any way and avoid feeding
them through areas that may cause damage to the
loom or cause kinking, jamming or exposure to heat.
If necessary, fit rubber grommets and plugs around
the loom in areas that are not waterproof or may get
damaged by road debris. Lastly make sure all
connections are free of corrosion and all firmly
connected.
Analog Controller and Digital Timer
To install the analog controller, simply remove the
rotary knob (it is quite stiff) and secure in a suitable
location with the screw provided, then replace the
knob back in the correct location.
