GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Gas Caddy is designed and approved to safely transfer
fuel to and from a vehicle. It may be used to safely store fuel
during vehicle service. It is approved for use with unleaded
asoline, diesel, kerosene, and E85 (ethanol) fuels.
g
The direction of flow is controlled by a 4-way valve to assure
that fuel is filtered in both directions. Caution: Turning the
pump in the opposite direction will pump the fuel, but this
will cause contaminates inside the filter to be introduced
into the fuel stream. Always use the valve to control the
direction of flow.
The FC-P30 comes standard with a 10 micron filter for use
with gasoline. Other filters are available for other fuels. Select
the correct filter for the intended application. Proper filter
selection is critical to achieving maximum pumping efficiency
and to properly remove contaminates from the fuel.
Refer to the table shown in REPLACEMENT PARTS AND
ACCESSORIES if you intend to pump different fuels.

ASSEMBLY
Tools and Supplies (not included):
• TPFE tape • 1-1/2 inch open end wrench
• 1-1/16 inch open end wrench
• 1-1/4 inch open end wrench.
1. Wrap 2 inch NPT thread on fill tube 4-6 wraps with PTFE
tape wrapping clockwise.
2. Assemble pump “A” onto tank by threading the “IN” side the
pump onto the 3/4 close nipple. Hold the manifold with a
1-1/2 inch adjustable wrench to prevent turning. Turn pump
until threads tighten with the final turn positioning the pump.
3. Position the handle to the left side of the tank as shown in
Figure 1.
4. Assemble the pressure hose “B” to the 90° swivel fitting on
top of the pump and to the 90° swivel fitting on the filter
support. Place a 1-1/16 inch open end wrench on the hose
and tighten the swivel using a 1-1/14 inch open end wrench.
Tighten securely to prevent leaks. Note: when tight the swivel will not rotate.
5. Assemble the discharge hose “C” by threading the 3/4 NPT
fitting into 90° fitting located on the front of the valve assembly. Pace a 1-1/16 inch wrench on the hose and tighten.
Tighten with wrench.
6. Coil and hang the discharge hose on the hose hanger
bracket on the side of the tank.
7. Thread the 2 inch fill pipe and cap assembly onto the fitting
in the center of the tank. Tighten snugly by hand until secure.
Fig. 1
10. Remove tape from top of fuel gauge and install plastic
indicator cap and plastic nut onto float assembly. Align
indicator mark to point diagonally across tank so that float is
