- Today I'm installing my FiTech inline fuel pump and steel braided fuel lines and talking about how to install AN fittings on my 1975 Ford Bronco. This is part 2 of my FiTech install video on this Early Bronco. If you haven't watched the other one or you want to know how to install the FiTech throttle body, go do that now:
• How to Install FiTech ...
The FiTech inline kit was on back order so here are the parts I bought to make the kit myself:
Fitech: amzn.to/2WZBRPv
Fuel Pump: amzn.to/3dMRCzk
Fuel Pump Bracket: amzn.to/3dQXvvi
8AN Fuel Line: amzn.to/2TiKYaA
6AN Fuel Line: amzn.to/2FPjuGv
Inline Fuel Filter: amzn.to/3oaucsu
Additional Filter: amzn.to/2ILF6Vl
The Install:
1. Determine the placement of your fuel pump.
2. Determine where your fuel filter will go.
3. Cut your fuel line and put on your AN fittings.
4. Hook everything up and tighten it down.
5. Run a dedicated ground from the fuel pump directly to the battery.
6. Test the system.
This install is similar on any early ford mustang, f100, or f150.

Nobody mentioned it here, but you can indeed take that style of AN fittings apart and re-use them. Just reverse the assembly and put them back together.
we have a lot of vapor lock out here. your lines and pump look close to the exhaust. great video.
I have used all kinds of steel braided line and would recommend PTFE Aeroquip lines next time. It is a teflon line so no fuel smell and resistant to additives. Just did it on my old mustang and will be doing it on my bronco. The best part is it is way easier to hook up the fittings than the rubber steel braided lines. This is a more expensive way to go but worth it. Great job on the build!
+Fastback2151 thanks man! That's a great idea. I'll do that next time
nice video very well put together!
+Fullforce LTX thanks!
Wiring the pump earth return is a good idea, but a better idea is to ground it also.
I watch your videos I have a 90 GT 302 fitech power adder and right st the end you just saved me a few hundred bucks by saying the ground is usually what's wrong with a fuel pump mine was acting up into the fuel command centre
I just figured it was over heated to many times
+Troy mackeod yes!!!! Glad I could help
Fuel injection hose with OE style connectors much easier and cheaper.
@NashvilleEarlyBronco hey there! I bought a sniper EFI system for my bronco & im currently planning everything out before I do the install. I was wondering did you upgrade to an intank fuel pump when you got your pro flo 4 or did you still run an inline fuel pump? I’m debating on what type of pump to run in my bronk. My bronco has the 23 gallon tank but it’s not an EFI model just the sending unit only. any help would much be appreciated thank you for the awesome vids you make for us!
Question, I have the five tech 600 hp lol everything is brand new my engine is brand new complete rebuild from top to bottom. I haven’t even got it out of the garage yet. I got about four hours of idling time on it and I just lost fuel pump pressure, so it won’t run now. Any ideas as to why everything is brand new fuel pump everything and I can’t get any pressure out of it won’t go over 5 pounds. Fuel tank ..is brand. New fuel filters are brand new. Everything is brand spanking new.
So do I have to remove the already existing fuel pump ??? And if so what do I put ?
Any reason for running a 100 micron fuel filter then a 30 micron filter, would it not it be possible just to run the 30 micron filter (assuming I'm running an intank fuel pump with factory filter already)!
how is the fuel injection holding up on the bronco? its been on there awhile now from the video age
Help please!! what are the cars using in line fuel pump?
Can you tell me how many of each 6AN or 8AN fittings are needed?
thanks for those high quality clear to understand videos.I have a question about the Fitech inline fuel pump.It does not mention anywhere the PSI rating of the pump.my engine swap will be from 1996 Explorer 5.0 maintaining everything like factory. which means I will need at least 45 psi at the fuel rail.so will this Fitech be enough, I wonder...other option is Walbro external GSL series fuel pump.thanks
I think the fitech pump is actually over 55 psi but I forget the number
Hey love your videos.
Question I have is which port on the tank did you connect your return line to.
I'm using my stock tank as well for this install. Thanks
+PuppyLover838 MintyFox there are two smaller vent lines on the same side as the main filler neck. The two vent lines are probably going to that plastic bottle behind your drivers seat
John, love the videos man. Been building a bronco and watching your stuff daily! Quick question here, why the need or reason to use 2 different line sizes? 6 and 8? Why not use 6 the entire way and return? Thanks!
Thanks man! You know, I’m not sure. That’s how the directions read, and so that’s what I did. Probably should look into why...
@@NashvilleEarlyBronco welp 8 and 6 it is! haha thanks a ton for the reply!
Great videos. I notice you have the dual tank set up, is the secondary tank no longer usable or did I miss a comment in the video?
I removed the auxiliary tank because of the need for running two returns lines. I think I’ll be installing a 23 gallon tank soon because the stock tank is just too small
@@NashvilleEarlyBronco I spoke to a couple people at car shows. One removed it and one is using it as an extra fuel tank. Installed a separate pump used to transfer it back to the main tank.
hows the inline fuel pump durability ?
Quick question do you have to run a regulator with this setup..? how do it maintain the fuel pressure...?
+JONQUELL MAYES no regulator. The fitech regulates the fuel pressure from the fuel pump
Did you not use a second screw for the bottom half of the fuel pump bracket? Did you do anything else, or just left it hanging?
I ended up getting a different bracket. I basically used a muffler hanger
Does this eliminate the need for a return line, or did you still have to run one?
I still ran a return line. I don’t think you can get around that
Which way does fuel pump go, terminals facing tank or towards front of car
The fuel pump should have a directional flow indicator on it. An arrow pointing on way or another. But on my pump the terminals face the front
what tank are you using my stock has small outlet.. need a 12 inch one...
I got my tank from Toms Bronco Parts. It has two little outlets for the vapor canister, but I just put my return hose on it and tightened it down
Will this work for a LS swap? I might have to buy a fuel injection gas tank. Did you make a video on converting to efi tank?
I did!
@@NashvilleEarlyBronco you have a link to the video?
Maybe this was already addressed. What did you do with your mechanical fuel pump?
Removed it and put in a “block off plate”
What kind of wire did you use to ground the fuel pump to the battery?
I think it was just a 12 gauge (I think) that I bought from the auto parts store. Nothing special
with the fitech installed can you take the vapor canister off and can you remove the charcoal canister
Thanks for the tip 👍🏼
it's not a tip im asking can you remove the vapor and charcoal canister's
Oh, ha! Punctuation matters. I didn’t remove my charcoal canister because of fitech. But you can if your gas cap is vented.
whats the psi on that fuel pump? nm was being lazy. i see it it now.
+jjt jp haha! No worries
1/2 inch
Are u using the stock gas tank and pickup I'm putting this in an 89 f150 that I built the motor in it's a 350 hp 308 but the truck was originally fuel injected so I have an in line pump and one in tank I replaced the stock inline pump with the one in the Fitech kit but not sure about the one in tank if it's just a pick up or it actually pushes the fuel
+brandon cruthirds yeah I’m using the stick tank and pick up. But my pick up was for a manual pump so I’m not sure the difference between that and one for EFI
Nashville Early Bronco thanks for the feedback I'm thinking I'll just get an older style pickup that's for a Manuel fuel pump and replace mine with
+brandon cruthirds probably a good idea. I would go online and look at pictures of the two, manual vs. EFI, and see if you can see any differences
Just ran out of time. Maybe I’ll do a video on the return line. When I made the video I didn’t think it was a big enough topic to really cover in detail
I noticed the fuel pump was loud when you primed it. I just installed mine and it does the same thing. After I crank it the pump comes back on and I can hear it while the engine is running. It is pretty loud. Does yours make that much noise while it is running?
Yeah it’s so loud. One of my least favorite things about the fitech. Thinking of changing the pump
It had me scared I could hear it while idling at a red light. I also had a back fire issue but I just watched your video on FITech settings and will correct that soon. Thanks for the response.
jafladd mine is super loud! Way to loud. I went to an event and two other broncos had fitech and their fitech pumps where 1/4 as loud. What did you do or find out?
I’m going to swap it for an in-tank pump eventually
didnt show hot wire
I’m reporting this vid. I dare you tell me to put down the Cheetos.
Hahaha!
Poor mans fuel injection. Your better off just swapping your motor to and efi roller motor.
