On a 1999 LS engine fuel tank, here's what you're looking for: - Purple wire: This is typically the fuel pump power wire. It supplies power to the fuel pump when the ignition is turned on. - Gray wire: This is usually the fuel level sensor wire. It sends a signal to the fuel gauge on the dashboard indicating the fuel level in the tank. As for the fuel lines: - 5/16 line: This is usually the fuel return line. It returns excess fuel from the engine back to the tank. - 3/8 line: This is typically the fuel supply line. It carries fuel from the tank to the engine. The third line is likely the vent line, which is usually a smaller diameter (like 1/4 inch). It's used to vent the fuel tank and prevent pressure buildup. Please note that these are generalizations and wiring/lines may vary depending on the specific vehicle and manufacturer. Consult a repair manual or a trusted mechanic if you're unsure.

Yes they have to come off for the fittings to work.

I cut it to close the the factory beveled portion which swelled the tube changing the OD of it.

@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365 2 ай бұрын

I am converting a tbi to carb and considered using the factory in tank fuel pump. What would be the best way to plumb it? The truck was stripped of fuel lines and I bought a new 20 gallon tank to install. Will run just the one tank. Also, will I need to use a fuel regulator with bypass, the in tank pump is min. 14 to 25 psi?

@RedEyedPatriot 5 ай бұрын

I see you used the corvette filter/pressure regulator. Will this work for a 99to03 intake with the regulator on the fuel rail? I wanna use this setup but without the AN fittings on the tank side. Only on the feed and return on the rail crossover.

I'm not sure, I've always used a newer intake.

great video!! what did you tie your power and gauge wire into to give them power? did you have a new fuel pump relay harness or did you tie into something factory on the truck? i have an 85 c10 and looking for power sources for my swap

@3rdGenC10s 9 ай бұрын

The stand-alone harness I bought had a fuel pump relay to tie into for fuel pump power and I used the factory fuel level sending wire.

I’m putting an L 86 LT engine in 1986 K-10. Did you need to modify or change the fuel lines leading up to the engine bay? My stock set up was low pressure mechanical pump. I’m assuming the 87 was much higher pressure electronic

@3rdGenC10s 9 ай бұрын

87 is only 12-14 ish psi 3/8 feed hardline and 5/16 return lines is pretty standard for a ls swap

So did you just use the 87 fuel lines? I'm not doing LS on my 87, but doing a edelbrock pro flo 4 and it calls for this style pump. My question: is the factory fuel lines on my 87 with TBI acceptable for the pressure od the wabro 255? Or should I be looking to replace the hoses?

You could use the hardlines but the rubber would need upgraded as they wouldn't be rated for the efi pressure.

Sounds like it’s pressuring up. Might try buying a vented gas cap.
