I will try pressure testing it this weekend! When I was re-assembling my hoses to the filter and pump, I could not help but think that the factory cuplings ( the ones with the white clips) that slip onto the filter and pump did not seem like they were very tight? Should I cut the factory cuplings off and replace them with a clamp instead? A clamp would seem more secure. Maybe I am loosing preasure from those? What do you think?

Also, on a intake fuel pump the power wires are in the tank. Right! Does this not seem kind of dangerous. If the gas were to touch those wires would they not ignite the gas and expode? I just thought that was a scary place to have those wires.
