Crossflow facet fuel pump and fpr installation

[Tazio]

I ran the 12volt feed down the opposite side of the transmission tunnel to the fuel line, and as previously stated I had also ran a separate earth to the rear of the car from the earth point on the block to a stud on the rear panel so I could use that earth for all the electrical services at the rear of the car.

back again, just got the motor back so need to get on and sort the fuel pump out!

The facet instructions say that the unions need to be sealed when screwed into the pump body.  Any recommendations for what to use?

Also I was going to use a right angle one for the outlet that points towards the tunnel.  Unfortunately, when done up to what feels like a sensible tightness, it is 180 degrees out.  Half a turn less and it's def too loose.  Is it a tapered fitting?  Any suggestions?  Other than use a straight fitting?

Thanks Graham

Hi Graham 

Loctite 577 thread sealant. 10--15 ft lbs for connections. Angled connections normal. If you need to 'loop' the pipes to fit then mount the pump so the inlet is the straightest

Thanks very much.  I think I can mount it and use two straight unions with a very straight run out of the tank and a loop round to go forwards (if that makes sense)?
