Default ECS Alky kit? inside

Does anyone have any pics of where you installed the pump line into the windshield washer tank? I tried putting mine in the bottom as I was told, but it rubs the inner fenderwell. Now its the back just beside where the lowlevel float is at. Can you email the pics to mlewis@gbf-inc.com thanks

I put mine underneath just where you put yours -- it will fit, but just barely. You have to make sure you drill in a location that puts the elbow fitting as far away from the fender well as possible.

This seems to be a reoccurring question... maybe ECS/Julio should post some pics and include them with the kit.

Yea it would havesaved me a lot of pain. I thought I had measured and put it where I was told, but it wouldn't work there. Now I'm on my second tank, hope for better results this time. Julio has been a great help. I also have a fuel pressure gauge tha is acting up since the install. I'm wondering if I might have loosened a ground. Any ideas??

I put mine on the rear corner, side of the tank. It isnt exactly at he bottom, but I figured it will not pick up any contaminants this way. It does come real close to the brake booster, but it clears.

Default location

thanks for the help, thats where I had it the first time and the 90 degree elbow rubbed on the fenderwell and it started to leak. I moved it to the back of the tank beside the float level plug. thanks

No leaks here. It actually clears the inner fenderwell. Close but not touching.
