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.
• 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.

BRACKET REMOVAL
1. Note the position of the fuel pickup filter in relation to the
bracket before removing the filter. Remove and discard
the filter.
2. Prior to removing the lead wires, inspect the terminal
ends attached to the fuel pump. Some vehicles use a
locking terminal on which a tab must be depressed to
release the terminal. Remove the wires from the fuel
pump without damaging the terminal ends, as they are to
be reused. Note which wire is positive (+), and which
wire is negative (-).
3. Remove the four screws that hold the upper and lower
bracket sections together. Remove the lower section and
fuel pump isolator and set them aside.
4. Note the fuel pump’s orientation. Remove the hose
clamps and remove the fuel pump and fuel hose from the
pump bracket.
5. Install the new fuel hose onto the new fuel pump outlet
fitting and place the hose clamps over the fuel hose.
Install the fuel hose onto the pump bracket. With the fuel
pump properly positioned, tighten the hose clamps.
6. Install the fuel pump isolator over the end of the fuel
pump inlet. Place the lower section of the pump bracket
over the pump inlet and install the screws. Make sure
that the fuel pump is properly positioned in the
assembled bracket. If not, reposition the fuel pump as
necessary.
1. Thoroughly clean all dirt and debris from the top of the
tank. Clean out any dirt from around the locking ring
and retainer. This must be done to prevent dirt of
foreign material from falling into the fuel tank while
removing the bracket.
2. Lubricate the locking ring with penetrating oil to assist
in its removal. Remove the locking ring by rotating in a
counterclockwise direction. This can best be
accomplished safely by using the proper service tool as
specified in the factory service manual. Using the
proper tool is ideal. However, the locking ring can be
removed by other methods. Whichever method you
use, do not use any method that could potentially cause
sparks resulting in fire or explosion.
3. Once the locking ring is removed, carefully remove the
bracket from the fuel tank. Be careful not to bend the
float arm or scratch the float when it is removed.
Discard the old fuel tank to bracket o-ring seal.

3. Place the supplied fuel tank o-ring seal in the groove at
the fuel tank opening. Place the bracket assembly into
the tank using care not to disturb the o-ring seal. Also
use care not to fold or twist the filter, as this could cause
restricted fuel flow. Install the locking ring and rotate it
clockwise until it is properly seated against the stops.
Check service manual for an approved sealant for locking
ring.

FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
WRAP UP
1. Inspect the condition and location of all tank mounting
pads, insulators and brackets. Defective, missing or
mislocated pads and insulators will cause the
transmission of excessive noise into the vehicle.
2. Install the new fuel line retaining clips, 1/4” duckbill
style and 5/16” hair pin style, into their respectively
sized fuel line connector. With the 1/4” duckbill
retainer properly installed, the serrated edges should
protrude through the side opening of the fuel line
connector. The 5/16” hairpin clip is installed with the
triangular portion of the clip facing away from the fuel
line connector opening. (See Fig. 3).
1. Using only equipment approved for use with gasoline,
refill the fuel tank with gasoline. (Note: Always clean
any gasoline spills immediately).
2. Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Repair any leaks before
proceeding.
3. With the ignition switch off, re-connect the negative
(ground) cable to the battery.
4. Turn the ignition key to the “Run” position only. This will
charge the fuel system. You may need to do this a few
times to get pressure. Once you have pressure, check for
any leaks and repair. Then, start engine and re-check for
leaks. (Note: Turn off engine and correct any leaks
before continuing.).
5. Clear any trouble codes in the electronic control unit
(ECU) that may exist as a result of the fuel pump
replacement procedure. Use the factory service manual
for assistance, if necessary.
