INSTALLATION
1. A new fuel strainer (if necessary) on the fuel sender and pump unit.
2. Install the fuel gauge and pump unit, with a new seal into the fuel tank.
NOTE: Care should be taken not to fold over or twist the strainer, when installing the sending unit, as this will restrict fuel flow.

FLUSH: (FUEL INJECTED MODELS)
1. Disconnect the fuel feed line at the front of the vehicle.
2. Install a hose to the fuel feed line at the front of the vehicle and insert the other end of the hose into a 3.8L (One gallon) fuel can.
3. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Fill tank with twenty-three liters (six gallons) of clean fuel into the tank.
5. Energize the fuel pump relay, to operate the fuel pump, until two liters (one half gallons) of fuel flows into the fuel can. This will purge the fuel pump.
6. Reconnect the engine harness connector to the distributer.
