INSTALLATION NOTES

• Remember: When working on your vehicle, especially when oil or fuel is present, always work in a well ventilated area. Keep all sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition away from the work area. Failure to do so could result in a fire or explosion causing vehicle or property damage, personal injury, and/or death.

• Before Beginning: This installation can be accomplished using common tools and procedures. However, you should have a basic knowledge of automotive repair and modification and be familiar with and comfortable with working on your vehicle. If you do not feel comfortable working on your vehicle, it is recommended to have the installation completed by a professional mechanic. Using a factory service manual for your vehicle for reference is helpful.

Minimum Tools Required:

1. Lift or appropriate jack

2. OSHA-approved jackstands

3. OSHA-approved fuel transfer pump

4. OSHA-approved fuel storage containers

5. Wire stripping and crimping tool

6. Various hand tools

• Note: Steps shown in these instructions are intended as a general guideline only. If you are not an experienced mechanic, you should have a copy of your service manual on hand. The installation procedure for replacing your factory fuel pump is covered in full detail in your factory service manual.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

(Note: This rotary fuel injection pump will not work on carbureted fuel systems. It is for electronic fuel injection only.) (Note: The word “bracket” used throughout these instructions refers to the fuel pump mounting bracket and fuel level sender assembly.)

PREPARATION

1. Make sure the engine is cool and the vehicle is on level

ground. Set the parking brake.

2. Remove the negative (ground) cable from the battery

and position it so that it cannot make a connection to the battery during the fuel pump installation procedure.

3. Relieve fuel system pressure by using a pressure

gauge tool, Ford Service tool # T80L-9974-B or equivalent. Connect the pressure gauge to the Schrader valve located on the engine fuel rail. Slowly open the pressure gauge valve and drain the fuel into a suitable container to relieve the fuel system pressure. (This procedure is necessary since the fuel

system can retain gasoline under pressure for a considerable period of time. Opening a pressurized line could spray fuel, creating a risk of fire or personal injury.)

4. Drain the fuel tank. Use an OSHA-approved gasoline

transfer pump, and remove as much fuel as possible through the fuel tank filler neck. Store the fuel in approved safety containers only.

5. Lift and safely support the vehicle with approved

safety stands with enough height to gain clearance to remove the fuel tank. If lifting only the rear of the vehicle, remember to block the front wheels.

6. Once the vehicle is lifted and supported, an alternate

method of fuel removal may be implemented. Determine which line is the fuel return line going back to the fuel tank (See Fig. 1). Trace the return line back from the injectors and remove it from the bracket. Securely attach a hose to the exposed fuel return tube leading into the tank, and draw the remaining fuel out and into an approved container.

(Note: Regardless of the method used to remove fuel from the tank, it is important to remove as much fuel as possible before removing the tank. This is required to help prevent fuel spillage, and injury from excessive weight while removing the tank).

FUEL TANK REMOVAL

(Caution: The fuel tank can be quite awkward to remove due to its size and weight. Obtain help during its removal). (Note: The following instructions may not be specific to your particular vehicle. See your factory service manual for specific instructions).

1. Prior to removing the retaining clips in the fuel line connectors, note their styles and respective fuel line location. The 1/4” fuel line connector uses a duckbill style retainer, and the 5/16” fuel line connector uses a hairpin style clip. The specific service manual for this vehicle has a section on fuel lines, fuel line connectors, and fuel line connector retainers that may be referred to, if necessary, for help in removing the clips and/or fuel lines. Remove the retaining clips from the fuel line connectors and remove the fuel lines from the pump bracket. Check for and remove any other hoses that may be attached to the fuel tank.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector at the fuel tank to main harness connector. Support and partially lower the tank, if needed.

3. Remove the fuel filler neck, if necessary.

4. Support the fuel tank and remove the retaining straps to allow the tank to be removed from the vehicle. Remove the fuel tank being careful not to spill any remaining fuel.

5. Note the condition and position of all fuel tank mounting pads and insulators used to isolate the fuel tank from the vehicle body. Mislocated, deteriorated, or incorrect pads and/or insulators can cause objectionable transmission of fuel pump noise into the vehicle.
