i used a 10-12 gauge wire (with high-temp jacket/oil resistant). Ran that from the aux terminal to a relay. THe relay gets turned on by the old power wire to the fuel pump. I had a 14gauge wire from the relay to the conector (new power wire) to the fuel pump.

thanks smokin,
did you have the wiring end at the module connector ( top of the sending module ) or did you take it all the way into the tank and to the pump?
