    Make a hot wire harness or buy one. Run the signal wire that would normally be to the pcm to a switch on the dash other end of switch to 12v source. Just make sure you have nice clean, dedicated voltage to the pump.

    you NEED a fused relay to the pump, whatever pump you decide to run.

    DO NOT just run the power thru a switch to pump unless you want to burn the thing down eventually.

    Meh, I like the big emergency switch.

    But, if you wanna do it right, here ya go

    I would fuse it closer to what the pump pulls but thats a solid relay setup.

    Use it for turning on relays, not powering.

    Fans, fuel pump, water pump, anything else?

    Just a way we do it in the marine industry. The groung to the pump goes to an oil pressure switch. Grounded with pressure 5 lbs. Engine dies, pump too. Its for safety. Dont want the pump still pumping if engine isnt running.

    Cant beat this deal, even comes with switches...

    Seriously, even with a 255 it shouldn't be pulling more that 30amps...Stock fuse is only 20a and is fine.

    Put a nice little fuse block in

    Add some relays

    And use a panel like NoMercy posted and you'll be good.

    A walbro 255 at 10 psi draws 5-6 amps at 13.5v. You could actually run it off of 14 gauge wire under 18' long. Any switch rated for 10 amps is going to be fine

    Still having difficulty here. .... if I'm reading that correctly I should be able to apply 12 volts to the gray wire and that should turn the pump on .... if anybody could help me out I'd really appreciate it

    That gray wire is the same as the one under the hood that's used to test the fuel pump. It is wired directly to the pump and does not run through the relay. The wire you want is the green/white one, a7 on the pcm, and apply 12v to enable the relay.
