fuel pump

[bg@f.ord]

I recently put a new fuel pump($200)in my truck.I am not confident with the way Airtech connected the hoses.They are'nt all the way on.I Had help to mount the bed and didn't realize until I looked at the old one.Now I'm afraid to take long trips.Does anyone know where I can find some parts to fix the pump where i'm comfortable.

What hoses are you talking about, the factory lines attach to the pump housing with the spring style disconnects, you just push them on, they lock & thats it, If you have doubts, look closely for leaks as the system is under pressure & leaking fuel under your truck could be a really bad situation for you, your truck, garage, house etc, in the right conditions. I would not be too worried about it unless you see or smell gas, or its not running correctly. I would keep a close eye on it for a bit, just to be sure, that is the wise thing to do after any repair.

Hoses

I'm talking about the internal plastic tubing is'nt fitted to the stems in the top cap all the way(approx.70%) & no clamps.I heard the output hose is under 20lbs. or so of pressure.

That hose is put on with heat & then shrinks to a tight seal, I would think you should be OK, as it takes a bit of force to get them off, I remember when I replaced my stock pump with the BBK 175.
