A high capacity 100 micron fuel filter must be installed between the fuel tank and pump inlet as well as a high capacity 10
micron fuel filter on the pump outlet. We recommend an Aeromotive P/N 12302 on the inlet side and an Aeromotive P/N
12301 on the outlet side. Call us for info.

The use of a front mounted fuel cell.

Gravity feed the pump by mounting it lower than the fuel cell.
Utilize AN-10 size high pressure fuel lines, fittings and o-rings for all connections from the
fuel cell to the engine.

Failure to follow the above recommendations may result in fuel leakage, bursting of the fuel lines, poor vehicle
performance and/or decreased fuel pump life! Improper installation will void all warranties for this product!
