Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

Proper installation and routine maintenance are essential for optimal performance. Follow these steps to ensure a flawless setup:

1. Disconnect the Battery: Prevent electrical hazards by removing the negative terminal before working on the fuel system.
2. Remove Old Assembly: Carefully detach the existing pump unit, noting any wiring harnesses or vacuum lines. Use a torque wrench to loosen mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications.
3. Prepare New Unit: Inspect the new assembly for damage. Verify that all seals are intact and that the pressure sensor is correctly positioned.
4. Mounting: Secure the pump with the supplied brackets, tightening bolts in a cross‑pattern to avoid warping.
5. Electrical Connections: Connect the harnesses exactly as per wiring diagram. Ensure that all connectors are fully seated and locked.
6. Fuel Line Integrity: Use high‑quality fuel line fittings and check for leaks with a pressure test or soapy water solution.
7. Re‑connect Battery & Test: Restore the battery connection, start the engine, and monitor fuel pressure gauges. Verify that the pump operates within specified parameters.

Routine Checks

• Inspect for fuel leaks at all connections every 10,000 km or annually.
• Check electrical connectors for corrosion; clean with dielectric grease if necessary.
• Verify that the pressure sensor reads correctly during engine idle and under load.
