Operating and Installation Instructions
This product is to be installed only by persons knowledgeable in the repair and modification of vehicle fuel systems
and general vehicle systems modification. Only a qualified technician or mechanic who is aware of applicable
safety procedures and fabrication skills should perform the installation of this product.
This fuel pump utilizes an electronic DC motor system that is not typical of conventional fuel pumps, and therefore
extra precautions must be adhered to as contained in instructions herein
GASOLINE AND OTHER FUELS ARE FLAMMABLE AND CAN BE EXPLOSIVE!
Perform the installation in a well ventilated location only to minimize the build up of fuel vapors. NO open flames,
smoking or other sources of ignition are to be present during installation, to prevent fire or explosion that can cause
serious injury or death. Grinding, cutting, and drilling must be performed with care to prevent ignition. Draining and
removal of all fuel and ventilation of vapors in vehicle and fuel system is recommended when performing such
procedures. Proper eye and personal protection is required at all times during installation.
The Vehicle's fuel system may be under pressure! Do not loosen any fuel connections until relieving all fuel system
pressure. Consult an applicable service manual for instructions to relieve fuel system pressure safely.
This product is intended for racing, off-road, or marine use only. This fuel system component may not be legal for
sale or use on emission controlled motor vehicles; consult local, state and national laws.

WARNING!
Power Supply Voltage must be constant as specified in above specification. Only install fuel
pump on vehicles using 12 Volt (6 cell lead acid battery) with a normal operating alternator charging
system or vehicles using 16 Volt (8 cell lead acid battery) with no charging system. Pulse-Width
Modulation or other means of reducing input power voltage may result in erratic or non-operational
condition. Electronic Power Supplies have not shown to be a problem with normal operation, however
testing has not been performed on all systems.

Before Installation, Plan Entire Fuel System:

A complete design plan of entire fuel system must be created for the specific application. These instructions are a
guide to help design this plan with respects to integrating this model of fuel pump only. Consult other sources of
information and manufacturers instructions for the various components of the fuel system. These instructions are
limited to general topics of fuel pump installation and may not include specific information pertaining to your specific
application. These instructions are written assuming the use of Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection using a
standard return (bypass) style fuel pressure regulator. This fuel pump may be integrated in some general
carbureted systems using a bypass system. Visit our company website (www.fuelab.com) for specific details
pertaining to example fuel systems and other solution ideas. Additional information including advanced
troubleshooting, any special alerts and FAQ's pertaining to this and other products is also available. A good design
plan for the fuel system must contain consideration for: Pressure and flow rate through various components, quality
of components, operating environment (temperature, vibration, shock, general exposure to elements) and local area
laws. Begin installation of fuel pump only after a complete plan is established to help avoid fuel system component
failure, costly rework, and excessive installation time.

Summary of Contents for Fuelab 47401

  • Page 1 (bypass) style fuel pressure regulator. This fuel pump may be integrated in some general carbureted systems using a bypass system. Visit our company website (www.fuelab.com) for specific details pertaining to example fuel systems and other solution ideas. Additional information including advanced troubleshooting, any special alerts and FAQ’s pertaining to this and other products is also available.
  • Page 2 This plumbing standard is commonly used with racing and high performance applications. Use of Expander Fitting per Fuelab Model 72302 (-8AN to -10AN) is recommended for adapting line size. See step 4 on page 5, for additional information on this port standard. A fuel filter with a 60 micron or finer particle rating is required to be used upstream of regulator and downstream from fuel pump to protect it and the fuel injectors from foreign object damage.
  • Page 3 Electrical Planning Notes: Reference below, for schematic wiring diagram example. Use electrical components as described, including electrical connectors that are appropriate for the operating environment of the fuel system, whether its use in street, racing, or marine applications. Pump's Electrical Connector is compatible with Delphi Weather Pack®; two pin female connectors (such as P/N 12015792), that is included.
  • Page 4 Turn off fuel system and repair any leaks that may be present before continuing. 7. When adjusting pressure, be sure that fuel pump is operating to monitor pressure. Fuelab recommends to use a “baseline” pressure reference when adjusting the pressure (adjusting the pressure with engine off or Pressure Reference Line unhooked).
