I also need to double check that it’s not leaking at the pump. In the video it was hard to tell because I didn’t have good footage of where the fitting goes into the pump. However you could see it pouring out where it was crimped to the soft line.
I also continued letting the motor run just to make sure the temp sensor worked and then thought to myself to turn it off because I didn’t want to burn the pump out.

@RWBeringer4x4 i have the same box as you. Can you provide me the fittings you used please?

So as embarrassing as it is there might be a possibility that I had the return line and pressure line mixed up. I will send pictures soon to determine.

I’m assuming that the one on the left is the pressure line.

Amazing what happens when you but things in the correct hole. Surprised I have kids.

Thats great news. Its strange, Rockauto's description of that box is different than cardones and cardones description doesn't seem correct either. I'm glad it worked out.

Dude - who are you? My wife? It isn't so much she doesn't listen but she says I mumble.

Interesting.
That is a J20 box - supposedly. That is what I have run with that jeep hose I listed. May be a dumb question - are you sure you are sticking the hose in the pressure and not the return?

@pb4ugo or @Hugh Heifer did you guys also purchase the return line for the same vehicle?

I don't think so. I will have to see what that was. It was just a short elbow and then I ran fuel hose to a cooler and then fuel hose to the return side of the pump.

Thanks for the help from both of you as well.

Of course dude. That is what it's all about! That and the degenerates in Chat!

I just use a section on 3/8 metal fuel line, bent to my liking, then 3/8 rubber hose and clamps.

I ended up buying a return line from O’reilly’s and will arrive tomorrow. I could use the existing line that I originally had that I thought was the pressure line and cut the other fitting off but want the hardline to be consistent with one another.
