Electrical Requirement
The supply voltage will affect the fuel delivery of the AEM Fuel Pump. The typical
electrical system on modern cars is between 13.2
– 14.2 volts. Although the AEM fuel
pump will run at lower voltages the flow will be lower. Ensure the voltage is 13.5V at the
pump. The current requirement is minimum 12 amps. The correct wire size will be
determined by the length of wire, the wire type and the resistance of any terminals,
splices or solder joints in the electrical or ground supply. The ground is equally
important and the preferred ground is to route the ground wire to a star ground source
that is directly attached to the battery negative post. The minimum wire gauge is 12ga.
TXL wire.
Before wiring the pump to the electrical system make sure the polarity is correct.
Connecting the pump with reverse polarity will damage the pump and is not covered
under warranty.
Installation Notes
The AEM Fuel Pump is rated for all gasoline fuels. No warranty is made when used with
fuels containing alcohol content 50% or more.
When doing the installation of the AEM pump into a new fuel tank, we recommend that
the pump is located in a sump or a chamber where baffling is used to reduce fuel slosh.
BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE, CHECK THE ENTIRE FUEL DELIVERY
SYSTEM FOR LEAKS AND REPAIR ANY LEAK BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE.
