Two last tips

- When installing or removing the plastic shield for the pump/filter assembly, use a 10 mm socket on a 12" extension, and access two of the bolts that hold the shield to the frame through the two small holes int the bottom of the shield.

- Before you drop the car down, hook up the ground only to the pump. Put gas in the tank. Jumper the hot side of the pump from the battery. Run the pump for about 30 seconds, and you will hear a large gurgle from the tank as the air is pushed through the system and back to the tank. This is also your check for leakage. Then connect the positive wire to the pump, and start the car.
