I'm surprised you have that installed close to the driver and your not using braided lines or comparable? It seems "rubber" hoses with those style clamps would be disastrous in the event of a serious collision!?!?

Higgi,depending on how you have your fuel pump wired and considering that it's just behind the driver you might want to at least wire in an "inertia" switch.That way any major impact the inertia switch stops the fuel pump.In north america you can find them on a number of ford products.

AN-08 bulkhead 90-degree fittings, female to female AN-08, male AN-08 to male metric threaded fitting to pump. Don't have the details on the thread pitch. Buy the pump and figure it out or search. Ditto on the bottom fitting. Into the sock you can thread in another AN male reducer to AN-08 fitting.

Yeah, if you are gonna crash you may as well burn also. Do it right and go out in style.
The hell with survival, reduce that chance!

accidents marked by smoke and fire are easier to notice and attract more attention
