Do not start vehicle or use any electrical devices that could accidentally ignite
gasoline while installing any of the connections into the fuel tank. Use an indus-
trial knife to cut hoses.
1. Assume that gasoline level in the vehicle’s fuel tank is below the
level of filler connection to the tank. If it is not below this level it
will be necessary to drain out some of the fuel.
2. Cut 2" fuel filler hose in two pieces 4"- 6" above the fuel tank con-
nection. Install the stainless steel adapter into the hose feeding the
¼"stainless steel braided hose down into the fuel tank. Ensure that
the hose is long enough to reach the tank bottom. Secure adapter
connections tightly with stainless steel hose clamps.
3. Drill a ¾" hole in the floor between the battery tray and preheater to
run the fuel line from the Ford engine fuel pump to the fuel line
adapter. Use a short piece of ½" hose to protect the fuel line where it
passes through the floor. Silicone around the hose. Use stainless
steel hose clamps to tightly secure the ends of the fuel line on the
fuel pump and adapter.
4. Make sure that the fuel line is not routed near the vehicle’s or ma-
chine’s exhaust system or near any moving parts. Secure the fuel
line to the vehicle body and/or frame with appropriate clamps or tie-
wrap straps.
5. Adjust the lengths of any of the hoses as necessary.
