Default Help with vortech FMU fitting

I need to install the FMU and since the manual is so great im struggling a bit.

Does anyone have some pics of where the fuel return / feed hose is and what needs to be removed / replaced.

I know where the standard FPR is, and am happy with the vac part of doing the job, I just cant see where the fuel hoses go to the FMU!

Cheers,

MB

You will basically be taking off the stock fuel hose that goes from the stock FPR to the vehicles stock return line

Cut supplied fuel hose to necessary length to connect from stock FPR to FMU inlet (side nipple)

Cut supplied fuel hose to necessary length and connect to FMU outlet (center nipple) and then to vehicle stock return line. *** This line is where the original stock hose came off that went from stock FPR to vehicle's fuel return line ***

Ok, thanks for that.

So just to clarify, I remove the hose thats on the bottom of the stock FPR, and where the same hose goes to the return pipe.

I then put new hose onto the stock FPR and attatch to FMU inlet.

Then put the outlet back to the tank return.

I cant see where the hose on the bottom of the FPR goes to. Any clues??

So far so good
as far as your question, I believe you also covered it.

The only fuel hose thats at the bottom of the stock FPR is the fuel hose and that again goes to the FMU inlet

You are basically connecting the Vortech FMU in between the stock FPR and the vehicle's stock return line

Don't hesitate to ask again if needed. Better safe than sorry.
