1. Position a new rubber O-ring seal onto the fuel tank flange.

CAUTION: Do not allow the float arm of the auxiliary fuel pump module to come in contact with any part of the fuel tank during removal or installation, damage to the float arm and fuel level sending card may result.

2. Using caution not to bend the float arm (2), lower the auxiliary fuel pump module (1) and the auxiliary fuel pump module supply line (3) into the fuel tank as an assembly.






NOTE: The auxiliary fuel pump module has to be properly located in the fuel tank for the fuel level gauge to work properly.

3. Rotate the auxiliary fuel pump module until the embossed alignment arrow points to the center alignment mark or the same position as noted during removal. This step must be performed to prevent the float from contacting the side of the fuel tank.
4. Position the lock ring (2) over top of the auxiliary fuel pump module.
