I was trying to wait for the new one Paul Yaw is working on with Bosch but I can't wait, I need to get this done. I'll switch to that pump down the road sometime.
Oh really? Do you have a link to anything about what Paul is up to now?

Ah, Ok... yeah... Yordan wired one of those in at the shop, I don't remember what size wire he ended up using.

It would nice if the pins could handle 14ga wire and north of 15A....

I want to get really good wiring for the fuel pumps, I'm not playing around with something as important as that. Do you get the Tefzel/ETFE from ProWireUSA?
Yeah, I don't know what to do if the pins won't carry enough current. I suppose you could add another bulkhead connector.

Yes, I get the wire from Joe.

Any connector will work.... It's the heatshrink that is going to be a pain. Joe may have something that will work. I still have a foot or so of Viton heatshrink kicking around.

OMG... it is such a PITA, I've done it a few times now... it keeps getting easier but it is still such an aggravating adventure in testing patience.

If it won't hurt the pumps, I will just put a 12mm to -6 fitting in there and take out what Bosch put in there.
Pretty sure that's exactly what I did when I ran the 044

OK thanks, I'll check out the Aeromotive line.
I've been running it for a few years now with no problem... I've never heard of one failing but I'm sure they do.. We never had a problem with FuelLab pumps until we did... and tragic it was...

Yeah... I tend to do that... my old tank was rusted from the inside.. I had that cleaned and epoxy coated... that lasted for like a decade until they upped the ethanol content and the epoxy started melting... that shit cost me an engine. Decided it was cheaper and better to build the surge tank rather than spend the money on a new/used tank...
