Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump wiring...need some help
I just installed my fuel cell and have all my plumbing for it done but I need some help with the fuel pump wiring. I'm using an Aeromotive A1000 pump. Aeromotive says to use 10ga. wiring for it but I have no idea what to do here. Should I go all the way to the source of the stock wiring and run 10ga. all the way back or can I do something else with the stock wiring right there? Any help is appreciated here. TIA.

Run 10 ga from you battery to a relay and use the stock line to triger it.

Yea I posted in both, wasn't sure who would know more...
But as for the relay I think I will do that, is there a diagram anywhere for wiring that up?

u should run the line straight from the alternator to a on/off switch then to the pump.Usin a relay will lower your current.I look it up on Jeff Evan website.

Got it all wired up tonight and it looks super clean. The only thing I used different is I used a 30amp relay instead of a 40amp, I still used a 30amp circuit breaker and 10ga wire for everything except for the stock fuel pump wire just for the trigger. Think the 30amp relay will be OK?

Re: (PandaHatch)
Aparently you didn't read the aeromotive link that I posted .The kit they sell comes with a 30 amp relay and 30 amp circuit breaker when using 10ga wire. So you using a 30 amp relay will be fine.

Yea, I read it, on the instructions it lists that it uses a 30 amp, but on the parts list it says a 40 amp, that's why I asked, I used the diagram they had.

Sorry your wrong it does not lower your current, infact they use a 30amp relay on adrea's white civic.
