The following steps are typical of most installations:

Section 1 - Fuel Pump Installation
Section 2 – Fuel Regulator Installation and Fuel Line Plumbing
Section 3 – Fuel Line Hose End Installation
Section 4 – Electrical Installation
Section 5 – Final Checks and System Start-up

Fuel Pump Template

Typical hose end to fitting connection:

Do not connect hose end to cutoff side of union!

Connect hose end to 37-degree flare side of union.

Typical o-ring sealed port connection:

O-ring sealed AN style port

O-ring

(Install on union fitting between back o

threads and face of hex nut.)

Hose End

Typically the cutoff side of the union is used as
the o-ring sealed side, leaving the 37-degree
flare side for your hose end connection. In some
cases both sides of the union utilize an o-ring
seal. For example, in this kit a union connects
the port of the fuel pump and filter.

Section 1 - Fuel Pump Installation:

1-1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve the fuel system

pressure.
1-2. Raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
1-3. Referring to the appropriate vehicle service manual for instructions, drain, disconnect any electrical and fuel

component connections.
1-4. In the kit find one AN-10 and one AN-12 cutoff union fitting, two of the AN-10 o-rings and two of the AN-12 o-rings.

Install each pair of o-rings on the appropriate union fitting.

1-5. Install each of the two fittings into the appropriate end of the provided Aeromotive fuel pump.

1-6. Noting the appropriate flow directions, install the provided AN-10 fuel filter, Aeromotive p/n 12301, on the fuel pump

outlet and the AN-12 fuel filter, Aeromotive p/n 12302, on the fuel pump inlet.

1-7. Install one of the supplied AN-12 o-rings on the cutoff side of the AN-12 cutoff to AN-10 reducer union fitting, if not

already installed, and install on the inlet side of the pump / filter assembly.

1-8. Install one of the supplied AN-10 o-rings on the AN-10 cutoff side of the AN-10 cutoff to AN-08 reducer union fitting,

and install the fitting on the outlet side of the pump / filter assembly.

1-9. Find a suitable mounting location for the above pump / filter assembly. Typical mounting locations include mounting

the fuel pump to the fuel tank shield or mounting to the inside of the frame rail. The fuel pump should be mounted as

close to the fuel tank as possible and as low as possible. Using the fuel pump as a guide, mark the four pump

mounting holes. Ensure there are no obstructions behind the mounting surface and drill four ¼” mounting holes.

Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.

1-10. If you are using the plastic fuel tank shield for mounting your fuel pump, secure the fuel pump to the plastic fuel

tank shield by installing four ¼” carriage bolts (not included) from the inside of the fuel tank shield, through the fuel

tank shield and through the fuel pump mounting holes. Install four flat washers and nuts on the bolts and tighten.

Inspect the inside of the plastic fuel tank shield for any sharp edges that could puncture the fuel tank. If any sharp

edges are found, correct before proceeding.
1-11. If you are mounting the fuel pump in some other fashion, secure the fuel pump to the mounting surface using four

¼” bolts, nuts, and lock washers (not provided).

Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.

1-12. Using the two supplied AN-10 hose ends as a guide, measure the length of AN-10 steel braided line needed to

connect your fuel tank sump or fuel cell outlet to the fuel pump / filter assembly inlet.
1-13. Cut and assemble the steel braided hose and hose ends as shown in Section 3.
