IMPORTANT NOTES

  • The Fueltec should be installed by a qualified professional mechanic.
  • It is recommended that you install the Fueltec when the fuel tank is nearly empty to keep possible fuel spillage to a minimum.
  • Before installing, read the sidebar at right for details on where to position the FUELTEC for optimum performance.
  • Reading the user tips may be helpful

Installation instructions for cars and light trucks
Requires 4 one-half inch automotive grade hose clamps and two short pieces of approved fuel replacement hose.

  1. Remove enough of the existing fuel line to allow the Fueltec to fit in the gap. When cutting line be sure to wear eye protection and to collect the fuel within the line in a non-flammable container.
  2. Slide one clamp onto each end of the cut fuel line. Slide one clamp onto each end of the Fueltec.
  3. Position the Fueltec in the middle of the fuel line gap and mount it to the vehicle with plastic automotive ties or strapping to the frame or underbody. The Fueltec can be installed in either direction. (If it is easier to work with, the unit can be secured after installation).
  4. Once the unit is in position, cut a piece of approved fuel line hose to fit from one end of the Fueltec to the vehicle's fuel line, with the least amount of slack possible. Connect the hose at each end with the hose clamps. Repeat for the other end of the unit.
    Note: Fuel line adapters might be needed here if the vehicle's existing fuel line is not standard 3/8 OD size.
  5. Turn on vehicle's ignition and wait for the fuel pump to fill the fuel line and Fueltec.
  6. Check for leaks and tighten clamps where necessary.
  7. If there are no leaks, you are ready to go. No further maintenance is necessary.

*If you prefer, the Fueltec can be installed with compression fittings rather than clamps.


Installation instructions for large tractors and equipment
Requires male compression fittings for each end of unit (3/8 inch OD for Fueltec pipes) and appropriately sized female couplings mounted in existing fuel line.

  1. Attach male fittings to ends of Fueltec ensuring a tight and secure union.
  2. After choosing a spot to install the Fueltec, remove enough existing fuel line to accommodate the unit. When cutting line, plug the end coming from the fuel tank until ready to attach Fueltec.
    You may find due to lack of mounting area that remotely mounting the unit will ease installation, although additional hoses will be necessary. They can be purchased from any large truck repair center or hydraulic hose supplier.
  3. Mount proper-sized female fittings securely into open ends of the fuel line.
  4. Position the Fueltec in the middle of the fuel line gap and attach it to the vehicle (see instructions for cars and light trucks). The Fueltec can be installed in either direction. (The unit can be secured to the vehicle after installation if it makes it easier to work with).
  5. Join the male and female fittings securely.
  6. Turn on vehicle's ignition and wait for the fuel pump to refill the fuel line and Fueltec.
  7. Check for leaks and tighten fittings where necessary.
  8. If there are no leaks, you are ready to go. No further maintenance is necessary.

Positioning the Fueltec
For optimal performance, the Fueltec should be located on the pressurized side of the fuel line (after the fuel pump). Where possible, it is also recommended that it be located after any fuel line filters.
It can be installed either under the vehicle or in the engine compartment, wherever it can be best mounted securely. Position it in as protected a spot as possible (depending on the vehicle design) to ensure unit is not dislodged by road debris, speed bumps, etc. For mounting, use plastic Heavy Duty automotive ties or galvanized screw-on strapping and mount to the frame or underbody.
It is recommended that the unit not be installed any closer than about 8 to 12 inches from any computerized component. The unit will not harm any computerized component, but random electro-magnetic fields from the components could affect the Fueltec's performance.
