Just to close the loop here, I will answer my own questions based on what I ended up doing (fuel system is done now and running).Two more relevant questions for you guys -
(1) what different things have you guys done to get the pump leads through the factory seal? I see the OP here chose to leave the big main connector outside of the seal and trim a spot on the edge for the wiring. It seems like leaving the connector inside and running the wiring through closer to the center of the seal might also be an option...?
(2) Where are you grounding the fuel system? Again, the OP shows one option here. I've also heard about the right side of the factory fuel system connector (right next to the pump in the seat area), but mine does not look as stout as I would like for a ground of this size/importance. Just looking for different options/opinions.
Considering the fuel they move some noise is expected. Try to have rubber mounted everywhere and not touching any metal to the outer braid.Great write up - i realize this is old but im curious about your sound levels with ptfe lines. Check out mine - are yours similar?
Is this a hose routing thing you think? Just curious for your input!
Hello you have a Update of the sound with the rubber seal and the rear seat installed???? Thanks.Oh, I imagine so. With the rubber seal on top of the pumps snapped back in, the rear seat installed, and the engine on I don't notice it anymore. I definitely hear it when I open the door and it primes but to me that's reassuring now. And now that I'm solidly 800+ rwhp, I'm a fan of reassurances.
No no update. It sounded like it was supposed to it was just louder because it's how those high pressure pumps sounded. It literally made me feel like I was in a fighter jet when it primed it was actually kinda cool.Hello you have a Update of the sound with the rubber seal and the rear seat installed???? Thanks.
Cool but after prime the noise is less???No no update. It sounded like it was supposed to it was just louder because it's how those high pressure pumps sounded. It literally made me feel like I was in a fighter jet when it primed it was actually kinda cool.
What wires did you tap into for the fuel level sender? Sorry for reviving an ancient thread lol
- First, go ahead and get your car secure on jack stands
- Remove the strut brace if it's a performance pack car
- Remove engine cover
- Remove the battery and put it on a tender if you have one available
- Remove the back seat and place it somewhere safe
- Unplug both the electrical connection and the fuel line from the fuel pump assembly
- At this point you will need to remove the fuel pump locking ring by tapping the outside tabs counter clock-wise
- I was not comfortable using a screwdriver as my tap and a piece of wood did not work for me. I ended up going to the parts store and renting a kit which included a brass tap
- If you wish to disconnect the OEM fuel line by the engine, this kit includes the tool to do it
- Once the locking ring is off, carefully lift up the fuel pump assembly at an angle, as the fuel level sensor is horizontal. Also, disconnect the line which attaches to the bottom left of the assembly
- Push down on the tab to disconnect the fuel level sensor, cut both purple wires about 2" above the sensor and remove the sensor
- Slide the fuel level sensor onto the Fore fuel pump assembly and crimp the purple wires onto the included connectors
- Drop the Fore fuel pump assembly into the tank and re-install the locking ring by tapping it clockwise
- Cut the two smaller wires from the OEM connection and splice them into the included connectors from the Fore fuel pump assembly
Sorry to bring up this topic again but do u know the size of this hose the fitting I need thanksReconnect! There is a connection to it on the Fore hat
