CAUTION:
Installation of this product requires detailed knowledge of automotive systems and repair procedures. We recommend that
this installation be carried out by a qualified automotive technician.
Installation of this product requires handling of gasoline. Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area with an
approved fire extinguisher nearby. Extinguish all open flames, prohibit smoking and eliminate all sources of ignition in the
area of the vehicle before proceeding with the installation.
When installing this product, wear eye goggles and other safety apparel as needed to protect yourself from debris and
sprayed gasoline.
Some late model vehicles use electronic sensors in their pressure and temperature senders for engine control functions.
Before
removing the original senders, we recommend that you contact your Auto Dealer to be sure no critical functions will be
disrupted. With pressure gauges, it is beneficial to add a T-fitting to install your new gauge and to keep the warning light
operational. This allows you to monitor the pressure and still have a warning light to indicate emergency conditions
WARNING!
The fuel system is under pressure. Do not open the fuel system until the pressure has been relieved. Refer to the
appropriate vehicle service manual for the procedure and precautions for relieving the fuel system pressure.
Aeromotive system components are not legal for sale or use on emission-controlled motor vehicles.
Installation:
1.
Locate pressure port. This gauge is designed for 1/8" NPT. In some cases, an
adapter may be necessary
2.
Install T-fitting if needed to share test port with additional gauge(s)
3.
Ensure the regulator is mounted with the gauge face vertical, at the right angles
to the ground, with the Vent Valve at the top.
4.
Apply Teflon sealing compound to insure a leak-free connection.
5.
Install gauge into pressure port, being careful not to over tighten.
6.
After installation, start engine and check all connections for leaks.
Operation:
Your gauge may be equipped with an external vent valve for the purpose of venting the gauge. Changes in temperature and
environmental pressure can affect how a liquid filled gauge reports pressure. Your new Auto Meter liquid filled gauge may be
equipped with a unique vent valve
that allows gauge pressure to be equalized to atmosphere, as needed, insuring accurate pressure readings regardless of operating
conditions.
To vent the gauge case, push the black band back covering the vent valve head and gently lift it up slightly, DO NOT REMOVE THE
VALVE.
Once the valve is raised, gauge case pressure is again equalized to atmosphere, and reported pressure will be accurate. Please
push the stem back down and replace the black retaining band immediately after equalizing pressure to reseal the gauge and help
retain the valve during vehicle operation.
NOTE: The gauge must be mounted with the gauge face vertically, (or as close to 90° to the ground as possib le) with the
vent on
top. This is to prevent the gauge from leaking during venting.
NOTE: This liquid filled gauge is not intended to be 100% full of liquid. When held vertical, the level can appear to be
between 3/4 and 7/8 full.
