mini fuel type project thing on the 3dr
Decided to update the fuel system on the sierra as basically its 20 years old 
also I noticed that previously in its life someone had jacked the car up on the fuel return line 
Here’s how I got on............
1st up the wiring was taken care of;
8AWG wire to be run fused at the battery directly to the fuel pump via Relay triggered by the OE wiring.
That’s everything taken care of at the engine bay end..............
Now to the boot
Relay mounted in the cover for the jack
Teminals soildered and crimped on for the fuel pump
Whilst under there anyway the tank got a lick of paint
Also cleaned up the cradle got a Grp A pump and new filter
.
Then I needed to mod the cradle so the filter was round the other way to simplify the setup.
Final product
With that lot all bolted together it was time to run the lines
Made the ends up
Dropped the old lines....
Crushed fuel return
.........run the new ones
Random gearbox shot
All connected up
Line at the engine bay end
Will weld the dash fitting onto the rail this week and that should be job done

Thanks for the comments
Chris cheers will pop in later this evening and let you know
All4it. i got everything from Think Auto
Its called "aeroquip" Aerospace style hose. You will have to spec what you want depending on what you need and how you want to do it. Its simple to use once you get the hang and you can do loads of bits on the car making your own bespoke lines etc
For the fuel lines you will need PTFE lined hose to minimise the smell of fumes
