INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS - Mr. Gasket Part No. 95P, 105P and 130P
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR - Mr. Gasket Part No. 2015
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. #95P AND #105P ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALCOHOL OR
METHANOL FUELS AND ARE NOT FOR FUEL INJECTED SYSTEMS.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Mr. Gasket Electric Fuel Pump #95P is a gravity feed
vane/rotor type high volume low pressure pump designed for
street applications. The operating fuel pressure is factory set at
7 PSI. Normally, a fuel pressure regulator is not necessary. We
recommend a 3/8 I.D. hose with this fuel system. #95P free
flows at 95 GPH and 65 GPH at 5 PSI.
strip applications. The operating fuel pressure is factory set at
14 PSI. This pump must be used with a fuel pressure regulator,
which is included. We recommend a 3/8 I.D. hose with this fuel
system. The fuel return line should be as large, or larger, than
the fuel line between the fuel pump and the regulator. #105P
free flows at 105 GPH and 70 GPH at 9 PSI.
race applications and is compatible with alcohol and methanol
fuels. The operating fuel pressure is factory set at 14 PSI. This
pump must be used with a fuel pressure regulator, which is
NOT included. We recommend Mr. Gasket Part. No. #2015. We
also recommend a 3/8 I.D. hose with this fuel system. The
fuel return line should be as large, or larger, than the fuel line
between the fuel pump and the regulator. #130P free flows at
130 GPH and 115 GPH at 9 PSI.
The Mr. Gasket Fuel Pressure Regulator #2015 is a return-style
fuel pressure regulator. The operating fuel pressure range is
4.5 9 PSI. The inlet/outlet size is 3/8 NPT. The fuel return
line size should be 3/8 I.D. or larger or the regulator will not
regulate properly. Refer to Figure 2.
When installing the fuel pump fittings, use a fuel resistant thread
sealant compound on the fitting threads. DO NOT use thread
sealing tape or silicone based sealant. Do not over tighten
fittings, as this could cause parts to crack, which may cause
fuel leakage.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
Step 1
Mount the pump as close as possible to the fuel tank (at or
below the level of the fuel tank pickup) in a well ventilated area.
The pump should not be subjected to low ground clearance,
road debris or chassis movement. Avoid exposing the pump
and fuel lines to moving parts and hot surfaces, such as the
exhaust system. NOTE: Increasing distance between the pump and
tank will decrease pump efficiency.
Step 2
Using the pump mounting bracket as a template, drill two holes
for 5/16 bolts. Insert the rubber gaskets between the housing
for the motor and the mounting bracket. NOTE: Using two 5/16
bolts, mount the pump in a vertical position with the motor on top to
ensure against a potential fire hazard from pump flooding.
Step 3
Connect fuel lines as shown in Figure 1 (A or B). If your fuel
system requires a fuel pressure regulator, proceed to the
instructions with the fuel pressure regulator. NOTE: Avoid
unnecessary restrictions in hoses and undersized fittings or hoses.
All fuel line connections should be leak proof.

Step 4
If you choose to no longer use your mechanical fuel pump, make
sure to disconnect the fuel lines, plug the ports and bypass the
pump from the circuit. If you choose to remove your mechanical
fuel pump, make sure to seal the opening with a metal cover and
gasket. We recommend Mr. Gasket Part No. 1515, 1516, 1517,
9125G or 9126G depending on your application.
FUEL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

Depending on requirements, the regulator may need
adjustment. To increase regulator pressure, turn adjustment
screw clockwise; and turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise will decrease pressure. NOTE: Turning the adjustment
screw all the way will cause carburetor flooding. Make sure to use a
fuel pressure gauge when adjusting fuel pressure.
PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION

Step 1
Mount the fuel pressure regulator as close as possible to the
carburetor. Note: Do not mount the regulator on or near exhaust
manifolds. A bracket is provided for convenient mounting.
WIRING PROCEDURE
Wiring the pump to an oil pressure switch will provide
power only when the ignition switch is on and the engine is
running. This will prevent the pump from running if your engine
stalls. Use 14 gauge wire or larger. See Figure 3, 4 or 5. NOTE:
Disconnect the battery ground cable before wiring the pump.
Step 2
Attach the fuel line from the outlet side of the fuel pump to the inlet
side of the fuel pressure regulator. See Figure 1B above. All fuel
line connections should be leak proof. The fuel return line should
be as large, or larger, than the fuel line between the fuel pump and
the regulator. See Figure 2 for size recommendations.

MAINTENANCE PUMP DISASSEMBLY

If your pump fails to produce acceptable pressure, it may need
cleaning. Follow the steps below to dissemble and clean your
Mr. Gasket Electric Fuel Pump. Refer to Figure 6 while performing
the following steps.
Step 1
Remove the pump from the vehicle and clean pump exterior.
DO NOT immerse the unit in any liquid, as it could damage
the pump, resulting in malfunction. Place the pump on a clean
work surface.
Step 2
On the bottom of the pump, remove the 5 bolts. Next, remove
the bottom plate, followed by the upper plate gasket and rotor
stop plate. Observe the position of the rotor, rotor vanes, flame
arrestor and relief valve so that you can reassemble the pump
correctly.
Step 3
Remove the flame arrestor screen and observe the exact location of the screen. Remove the rotor vanes and rotor by turning
over the pump.
Step 4
Unscrew the bypass screw and be careful as the bypass spring
behind it is biased outwardly. Once bypass spring is removed,
take out bypass plunger.
Step 5
Clean the housing with spray-on carburetor cleaner. Next, use
compressed air to blow the pump base dry.
Step 6
Clean your rusty relief plunger with emery paper so it slides
freely in the base. Do the same with the rotor vanes so they
slide freely in the rotor slot.
Step 7
To reassemble your Mr. Gasket Electric Fuel Pump, first replace
the rotor stop plate. Install the flame arrestor, ensuring that the
screen is behind the screen stop. Next, replace the upper plate
gasket then the upper plate. Finally, fasten the 5 bolts into the
bottom of your pump. Install the fuel pump in the vehicle.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
PUMP IS LOUD OR MAKING EXCESSIVE NOISE

- There may be a leak you cannot see or smell. Double check
all the fittings and hoses.
BOUNCING OR ERRATIC FUEL PRESSURE

- Install a return style fuel pressure regulator if one is not already
installed.
- Check for and remove any unnecessary restrictions in hoses
as well as excessive fittings.
- Install a fuel return line that is one size larger than the feed
line.
- Confirm the fuel return line pressure is free flowing back to the
fuel tank with less than 2 lbs. of pressure.
