1-21. Starting from the decided regulator mounting location in the engine compartment, plan a route to run an AN-06
return line back to the Aeromotive fuel tank sump return port and measure the required length. Cut the return line to
the determined length and install one AN-06 90-degree hose end and one AN-06 straight hose end, as detailed in
Section 4.
Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.
1-22. Thread the 90-degree hose end side of the AN-06 return line onto the AN-06 return port fitting located on the
Aeromotive sump, and tighten.
1-23. As the Aeromotive fuel tank is lifted into position reattach the vent line to the top of the fuel tank and work the filler
neck in to the grommet on the side of the fuel tank. Once the Aeromotive fuel tank is in position, align tank straps,
ensure that there are not any hoses or wiring pinched and tighten the strap bolts.
