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.

 

Wire directly from the battery.

 

i ran it off the oem plugs. made a male and female adapter to 10 guage of the power and grounded off the pump and the oem wire. so basically 2 grounds. its been running for almost 2 years no problems daily driven. and i put a lot of miles on the car.

 

Hmmm, I just don't want to cook any wiring or catch my car on fire hahah, using a relay method from the batteryis another option here too...need to find the wiring on it.

 

run a 10ga wire directly from the positive side of the battery to a relay next to the pump run 10ga from relay to pump....use wire that ran the oem pump to kick the relay...run ground to frame

 

Sounds easy enough. Thanks for the help!

 

forgot, i am running the fuel pump controller now. but i did run it right off the oem wire for about a year and a half. now i have the pump controller straight to the battery and the factory wired to the controller. the controller runs the pump. and all grounds to the chassis.

 

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?

 

30amp is fine
