Hoow do I run extra wires INSIDE the fuel tank?

[Zack]

I have a Marauder and want to add a pair of wires for a twin GT pump setup.
How does one go about this and have no leaks?
Is there something premade for such a project?
Thanks for your help.

If you drill the holes small enough in your pump hat then you can likely just friction fit your wires through there and be fine as long as the edges aren't sharp. Use fuel safe shrink tubing to give more protective barrier surroundinng the wires where they go through the hat. When I made my custom pump hat for the fuel system I made for the Exploder I just had some grommets that I used to seal the wires. You have to test them to make sure they are fuel vapor resistant. I just threw a few in a small container of gas for a few days to make sure. Good luck.

I swear it seems like I am getting into all of your tech question posts on all the forums lately. :biggthump

Thanks again!

Keep in mind my hat is facing forward, not upward.

Ooooooh. Well that will make a big difference. I wasn't aware of that. The throws a whole other loop in this ballgame. Can you take a picture of your pump hat and the wires going into it?

I know what Im gonna do.
I am ordering a used pump/hat, then im gonna cut the factory wiring plug out, along with a little bit of surrounding metal, then just have it welded in place on my hat.
I should think out loud more often.

Sometimes a little creative thinking goes a long way. Good to see that you thought of something.
