Top plate completed and drilled for the fuel outlet and the wiring bulkhead connector. (My vent is in the filler neck on the right side so these are the only two holes on the left side of the cell unline the Swift setups covered in the HPD manual).
Fuel regulator assembled. It was REALLY tough to set the regulator into the housing. I checked it a couple of times and the O-rings looked OK, so hopefully I will see the correct Fuel Pressure when it all goes together.
After several careful measurements, the connector hose between the regulator housing and the fuel pump was sized. Shown here is the first trial assembly of the entire unit. The HPD manual says that the pump should hang about 1/8th of an inch above the cell floor. This looked just about right. So on to final assembly...
Final assembly ready to drop into the tank. I left as much of the foam in place as possible so that the pump assembly is firmly held in place. Remember to press on the "pillow" retaining ring on the bottom post of the pump. It would probably be bad if the intake pillow came off and the pump was free to suck up and small debris in the bottom of the tank.
