Default Walbro fuel pump fittings?

I was wondering what fittings are needed for the walbro gsl-392 fuel pump? I got a really good deal on it and just need to find fittings for it

You need a little bigger fitting for the pressure side... IIRC the low pressure side works fine. I can look at my fitting and get back to you in a while...

Try this page:

http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/

Click on the link for external pumps and a little down the page there are two links with pictures of fittings. According to the old Dark lightning chart they are 12mm fittings.

Here is the chart from the now defunct Dark Lightning page. I have the whole page saved if anyone wants it. Too bad this site is gone or did it move somewhere, anyone?

I just ordered a pump from APE with the 12mm barb and 12mm banjo bolt and mounting kit. The only problem I see is the banjo bolt on the stock pump is a check valve so I am keeping my fingers crossed this will work or at least get me home.

One more thing it says on the pump a 20A fuse is required? I looked in the fuse box and mine has a 15A fuse can a swap a 20A in its place with no ill effect? I found out also that the stock banjo is a 10mm to 12mm banjo adapter so im gonna check to see if it fits on the walbro pump.

According to the chart on the APE site The pump should only draw about 6.3A-7.6A depending on what kind of pump it is. You may be able to get away with using the 15A fuse. I don't know what gauge wire is used for the pump circuit anyway.

Let me know about the banjo fitting.

TRP951: Did you ever put the pump on? What fittings did you use?

Im hoping to get the pump on by this weekend, I have been breaking in my clutch so no boost for me and the stock pump should handle that until im done
