Fuel pump relocation and wiring Options

[captjm]

I need some help with wiring a 914 fuel pump being relocated to the front fuel tank location exactly like the 75/76 914's. The car is a 1971 914/4 being set up for a carbureted 2.4 six cylinder. My question is about where to pick up the power to run the pump correctly.
I would like it to have any relay protections like the original if that is the way it is suppose to be. I think the positive power is to come from the engine compartment relay board from the forward connector pin 13? I plan on running the positive wire from pin 13 under the driver side rocker panel forward to to the fuel tank bay and picking up the ground from the closest grounding point nearest to the tank bay. Any comments or advice would be helpful. Thank you

That's excellent Clay. Better safe than sorry.

I am not an EE, but I pointed out the factory harness 12GA wire design for those wanting to relocate the pump, because Porsche originally engineered it that way so it is a good precedent. I imagine that it was a conservative approach considering all factors that could be encountered at the time - electrical draw of the pumps available then, plus effects of greater resistance over time, heat degradation, etc., plus a safety factor.

If todays pumps create less load then great, but anyone contemplating that relocation should be aware of the wire size and be prepared to replace that pump when necessary with a similarly efficient pump to avoid overheating the wire and inform the next owner also.

The fuse for the FP circuit is the big 25A fuse on the relay board. Adding a secondary fuse inline...not sure how that will behave.
