Default ECS stage 1 e85 install help please.

I’m finally getting my fuel system installed and have a fee question.

Should there be an Oring between these two fittings?



Should this be a 90 or a 45. It looks like it should be a 45 and the directions say it should be?

Does everything look correct?

Anything with a tapered seal won't use an oring. You can see that fitting has a taper seal, so no oring would be used.

You probably can't tell but the tapered fitting on the pump doesn't bottom out inside the check valve. I didn't look in the package with the mounting screws for the fuel pump and there was an oring the correct diameter.

Are you sure the check valve is in the correct location? See the flow direction arrow? I’d move the pump up a little higher so the line is protected by the frame. [img]blob:https://www.corvetteforum.com/2fe01974-4035-4c1e-8ed6-397bf8228903[/img]

yea it is. I did major research before i installed mine especially on here. Take as look at this post that i commented on earlier in the year as well. You will see others with their install pics as well and our install are all similar in how its put together. Making 805rwhp at 60% duty cycle with 1300 fic injectors on stock fuel pump on e50.
