hi i have crated a detaild diagramme of the twin pump setup im thnking of

 

reason being is that i have fitted a walbro 255 but i have a nearly new stock pump doing nothing so i thaught it may be a good i dea to get them both in .

 

my only doubt isthat this setup seems too easy to do and i think im missing something or there is something els id have to factor in

 

please take a look and correct where needed ,

 

much love

The stock connector terminals DO NOT like carrying double the amperage, they overheat, loose their temper and fail, they also melt the connector shells. None of this is good around a fuel tank. It's vital to either share the current load as in the diagram, or you need to use a bespoke alloy tank top drilled for your specific electrical and fluid requirements, and with either Deutsch fuel proof connectors, or Premier wire feed throughs (much cheaper option).

so i should do as in the second diagramme . use the earth on the conecters as a second live to split the amps and run athocker earthto an earthing pole drilled through the tank cap.

 

or should i ditch the stock conecter and run thicker wires through the top of the cap and have the wires on bullets outside the tank?

 

and aditioanlly what wire on the pump ecu should i use to switch the relays for the live ?

You should be OK with the second diagram. I am not sure which terminal triggers the relay, I haven't got my manuals here at the moment, sorry. My Skyline is a similar tank top setup. I turned some alloy top hats to replace the stock tank cap, so I could then use wire feed throughs and drill for proper Aeroquip hose fittings. I *SUSPECT* they may be the same size as Supra ones, but keep forgetting to check, I made 3 spares...
