The following instructions are very important. They should be read through carefully. The following is a sketch to help aid in the understanding of these instructions. If you need further help you may call technical support at 1-307-856-5484, or may refer you to our plant engineers.

Step 1. Mounting The Fuel Atomizer 2000

            The Fuel Atomizer 2000 needs to be mounted in a cool upright position, away from the engine, and no lower than 8" below the intake manifold. The firewall, strut towers, or on either side of the radiator would be good places to mount it. A bracket may need to be made for certain applications.
                                         
Special Tip Keep the unit out of the way of hood or hinges.

Step 2. Installing The Gas Line Tee .

           Warning - Cutting into a gas line will result in some gas spillage, it may even be under                 pressure and be released in the form of a spray. To avoid danger take these precautions:                                           1. Release gas cap.
                                          2. Keep heat and fire away at this time
                                             (light bulbs, cigarettes, etc.)
                                          3. Keep electrical cords and equipment out of the way.
                                          4. Install when engine and muffler are cool.
                                          5. Wear safety goggles and appropriate clothing.

Fuel Injected

         Since vapor gas is injected right into the intake manifold, it doesn't matter where we get the gas from. So, on fuel injected systems install the tee into the return gas line. If it doesn't have a return line (like the newer Dodges), tee into the high pressure gas line and see special tip below.

Carbureted

         Install the tee between the fuel pump and the carburetor. There should also be a fuel filter between the tee and carburetor, sometimes this is in the carburetor itself. If not, then the gas line will need to be flushed. Unhook it at the carburetor and with the tee in the line, start the engine enough to flush the line out into a container. Otherwise rubber debris from the hose might mess up the needle valve in the carburetor.

Special Tips
                                  1. The fittings in the tee may be replaced with other fittings
                                       to adapt to the fuel line.
                                  2. If there is a lot of pressure retained in the fuel line after the                                        engine is shut off, such as a fuel injected high pressure line,
                                    a solenoid may need to be installed between the tee and the
                                       atomizer to stop the flow of gas to the atomizer after the key
                                       is turned off. This will keep the vehicle from flooding next
                                       time it is started .
                                  3. To avoid vapor lock in the tee on carbureted engines, place
                                       the tee in a cool spot, maybe on the firewall, and reroute the
                                       gas line to it.

Step 3. Connecting the 1/8" copper tubing.

            Fasten one end of the copper coil to the tee (unroll as needed). Close the Gas Flow Control Valve on the tee and start the engine. With engine running, adjust the control valve so gas is coming out of the tubing at a fast drip. Now, turn the engine off and fasten the other end to the Fuel Atomizer 2000.

Step 4. Connecting the PCV Valve.

            Inspect the PCV Valve for good working order (it should rattle). Connect one end of the 3/8" hose to the PCV Valve and the other end run to the nipple on the Fuel Atomizer 2000 marked PCV In, but do not connect it.
Special Tips
                                  1. If you can't find the PCV Valve. Look on the emissions
                                        schematic located under the hood or check with a
                                        local dealer. If you do not have one see troubleshooting.
                                  2. You may need to adapt the hose end to fit the PCV Valve.

Step 5. Connecting the 4' Vapor Out Gas Line Hose to the Intake Manifold.

            This hose can be longer than 4'. Connect one end to what the PCV Valve originally hooked up to, (this might be a network of vacuum lines). Then run the other end to the nipple on the Fuel Atomizer 2000 marked PCV Out but do not connect it.

Step 6. Adjusting the Vapor Control Lever.

            Connect the temporary clear plastic hose between the PCV Out nipple and the 4' vapor hose. Leave the PCV In line disconnected. With the engine running, adjust the vapor control lever forward until gas is barely seen streaking the sides of the clear tube. Then remove the temporary clear tube and connect the hoses to the Fuel Atomizer 2000.
Now, if the fuel mileage is about the same or a little higher, then continue adjusting the vapor control lever forward about a 1/16" at a time until the fuel mileage peaks out. If you experience a decrease, then adjust the vapor control lever back a 1/16" at a time until fuel mileage peaks out.

Step 7. Checking the Sludge Chamber

            The sludge chamber collects the emissions that normally are routed back through the engine. So, when the sludge chamber is half full unscrew it and dispose of the emissions (junk) like you would used motor oil. This may only need to be done once every month, but check it once every two weeks until you get accustomed to how fast it fills up.

On fuel injection, increase in horsepower is noticed but not in gas mileage Check oxygen sensor Replace if necessary
On carbureted, check tail pipe Is it black or does it throws black smoke when started Float in carburetor needs lowered

Note:
If your engine is acting up, there are (2) two more areas that are very important to look at, 1) your computer chip running your vehicle is getting weaker or going out and may need replaced. And, 2) your 02 sensor or oxygen sensor (found usually at exhaust manifold) may need replaced.

           Code Numbers and Special Tips.
           1. If the unit is restricting too much air, then a simple bypass may be installed.
               The two lines that are hooked to the unit are both teed into with a valve between them.
                Open this valve untill the right balance of air has been accomplished.

           2. Vapor locking occurs when the gas starts to boil inside the tee or gas line.
                This can be taken care of by rerouting the gas line and tee to a cooler place such
                as the firewall or insulating them from the heat.

           3. On fuel injected vehicles the return gas line will sometimes be smaller than the
                supply line and will be free of fuel filters and auxillary fuel pumps.

           4. If gas drips in the sludge chamber after the engine is turned off make
                sure the tee is in the return line. If there is no return line or the gas line has
                a lot of pressure on carbureted units, then a solenoid will need to be installed
                in the 1/8" copper line. This will shut the gas off running to the Fuel Atomizer 2000
                when the ignition is turned off. Call your dealer for more details and cost.

           5. Sometimes the injectors are not capable of closing down enough to compensate
                for the added vapor even though the vehicle gets an increase in mileage. In such
                a case the vapor control adjustment may be turned down and a little mileage sacrificed.
                Or you may talk to your local dealer, or a certified "mechanic" for injector or computer options.

           6. If your vehicle does not have a PCV valve the unit may still be installed.
                Look for a CVC line or a vacuum line that runs from the crankcase to the
                intake manifold and use this line. If not, call your dealer for an air control.

           7. If the "PCV line" is not allowing enough air to pass through it. The PCV valve
                may be a partially plugged, or a tee with an air adjustment may need to be
                installed in the PCV line, as to allow more air to enter the system.
