Watch how we wired up this electric fuel pump here - How To Wire Electric Fuel Pump With A Switch | The Meano Camino kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zn91zsSplpfYc84.html

Too bad you didn't read the instructions ! You would have found out that the fuel pump should be located as close to the gas tank as possible !!!!

Yup I burned mine out doing that

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the pump should be at least a foot from the gas tank. If not, it burns out, trying to pull fuel for the length of the vehicle.

You are 100% correct - we were a little lazy and didn’t want to drain the fuel and cut the line way back at the end of the vehicle - just wanted to get it running the easiest way possible.

But how theu don't over fill the carburetor on idling? They are on all the time without the ecu can someone explain before i do the conversation

Should also install an inertia switch. At impact it will shut off automatically. So you don't burn up !

We connect ours to a switch so it would only turn on when we flip the switch. The other option is to get a fuse tap that plugs into your fuse box that only turns on when the ignition is turned on.

I Installing This Electric Fuel Pump With Return Fuel Line/Regulator... Like An Injection System... I Dont Know If This Is Needed Or Not... Just Worry If The Pressure Is Too High And Can Cause Damaged To My Fuel Pump... Is That Necessary Boss? Or I Can Remove The Return Line And Just Let The Pump Installed Directly To A Caburetor?

Have you watched our video on how we wired up the electric fuel pump? kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zn91zsSplpfYc84.html We used a relay kit and a switch. You can find the relay linked in the description. I didn’t want to take apart the steering column to get to the ignition and that is why we used a switch. And as far as turn key - instead of connecting a switch - you need to find a power source. We took power right from the breaker we installed. Then wire it up to your ignition and back to your relay. You should be able to find a video out there that shows how to wire fuel pump up to ignition too. If you have not used those search terms yet. I will look too quick. Let me know if this helps lol
