floor.

female supply hose fitting by gently pushing

the fittings together and making sure they are

by looping the two 11” cable ties through the

not to kink the line.

H. Plug the female connector located on the T-Rex

discharge line onto the fuel filter inlet making sure

the hose assembly clears all exhaust tubing and

sharp objects.

I. Position the reflective sleeve on the pump dis-

charge line so that it receives maximum protection

inside the trunk in position as shown in the tem-

wire may be brownish-green.)

to the (+) terminal on the fuel pump.

M. Connect the longer black wire from the (-) terminal

on the fuel pump to a clean ground.

N. Connect the short black wire to a clean ground

from relay terminal #86 (relay screw mount works

well).

O. Route the remaining long red wire from relay

terminal #30 up to the fuse panel located under

the dash. Using a solderless connector, connect

the supplied fuse holder and fuse to the end of

the wire. Crimp the fuse wire to the supplied

female slide and fuse tap. Attach fuse tap and

sharp edges on vehicle underbody.
