MPI ECT Fuel System
Fuel Supply Connections
Improper installation of brass fittings or plugs into the fuel pump or fuel filter base can crack the casting, causing a fuel leak
and possible fire or explosion. Always install fittings and plugs correctly, and do not tighten with power tools.
•
Use Loctite 567 Pipe Sealant on the threads of fuel inlet fittings or plugs. Do not use PTFE tape.
•
Fuel inlet fittings or plugs should first be threaded into the fuel pump or fuel filter base until they are finger‑tight.
•
Fuel inlet fittings or plugs should then be tightened an additional 1‑3/4 to 2‑1/4 turns using a wrench. Do not overtighten.
•
To prevent fitting damage or overtightening when installing a fuel line, the fittings should be held with a suitable wrench as
the fuel line connectors are tightened securely.
