Nitrous Help Please...

Well I'm almost done the install. The only thing holding me back is how to splice the fuel line to the solenoid???? The main line to the carb is metal. The kit came with a brass TEE fiting and some rubber fuel line. What's the best way to do this? the manual says to splice as close the carb as possible. Do I cut the metal fuel line, and splice in the rubber line and TEE that way?
I just wonder if the rubber line can hold the pressure from the pump..


Another thing I noticed.. Why is there no Pos or Neg indications on the solenoids? What i did was ran the Two right hand wires from each solenoid to the relay, and i grounded the others. Does this sound right?? It's the best i could do with the really ****ty instructions it came with. It's like they think everyone has done this before or something..

I hope some one can help......

Jordan.

I think I can answer the solenoid question.

Solenoids are electromagnets. Current is the important thing here. Since they are often just a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field polarity is USUALLY not important.

That's right.It doesn't matter which is positive or negative.And you're right about the fuel line,cut it and splice the tee in using the supplied hose.You might want to consider flaring the line just for added peace of mind.
