Walbro 450 Install (Finished!)
*********(The pump is installed and working fine so far. See page 5 for details)*******I am currently attempting to install a Walbro 450 into a 2011 GMC Sierra (Flex Fuel). So far I got the bed off and the pump out. I am a little stumped as to how to run the hoses for the new pump.
To me all it looks like I would need to do is to run a fuel hose from the Walbro to where the stock pump was connected and it should work just as the factory setup,but I have been told that I need to run a t-fitting to the factory fill tube? I don't see how this would work, because the factory fill tube(I believe this is the black tube with the green o-ring) is connected to the bottom of the bucket(there is a raised section in the bottom of the bucket where the fill tube with o-ring slides into when the buckets lid is installed) and the top of the fill tube is connected to the gray lid. It would be just like stock except for the white cradle that held the stock pump in place wont work with the walbro. Maybe I am missing something? My way seems easy, but the whole t-fitting thing just throws me off. I am at a stand still till i figure this out.
