Installing Fore Innovations L1 Fuel System with FC2 control.

A couple of questions:

How do I get the ECU pump signal to the controller?

Where is a good location to mount the controller?

The FC2 needs to be installed in a dry location.., ie inside the cab.
Use the old 12v wire from the pumps as FC signal.
The old pump ground works as a controller ground.
Run a new ground wire from the pumps to the frame.

FC2 controller should have come with the ground and power wires already installed into the controller. Run the power directly to battery using supplied in line fuse and run the ground directly to the frame.

As mentioned it installs in the cab and you use the stock power wire as the trigger/signal for the FC2. I mount them in the cab behind the driver.

Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, tap into the factory fuel pump connector at the pump and run that to the FC2 controller in the cab?

Find the power wire in the stock fuel hat connector, harness side and use that power wire as your trigger wire for the controller.

Not a big fan of those controllers seems like they get loose connections

Thank you for your clarification. Much appreciated.

Is the controller still have a little screws and then you stick the wire under it and tighten the screw down ?

They changed the way they are made about 2 years ago so thats not a problem any longer.

I've installed several of these controllers as part of my fuel systems that I offer and I have never had an issue. Fore is constantly improving upon its products.

Relays fail usually at the worst time and most relay's cant handle the constant amperage load, that is why controllers are the desired choice.

What’s up with the ford fever classic ? I guess that’s dead too ?

I guess if you use the wrong relay that could be an issue

That looks pretty cool

MIR has no interest in having a Truck and Lightning class any longer, even if we had more trucks in that class the last 3 years compared to the Super Stang class they still have... Oh well

The actual event, Ford Fever is still going on this weekend but we will not be in attendance.

The fuel tank vapor hoses are dry rotted and broke when pulling them from the vent ports on the tank. I’m having difficulty finding the correct sized hose. Bought 3/8 in and too small. 1/2 is too big. 7/16 fits but the thickness of the hose itself is thicker than the hoses removed. Does anyone know the correct size vapor hose to use?

Im not 100% sure but when i did mine i think i used 12mm silicone vac hose. It wld fall sizewise between the 1/2 and 7/16 @ .473. As long as the hose stays on securely size really sldnt matter that much as it will just go to the charcoal canister or in my case to a vent.
