Default Which wire goes to fuel pump?

2002 Z28.
Looking for which color wire goes to the fuel pump at the plug over the axle.

Thanks

I believe the gray wire is the power wire to the pump coming from the relay. Maybe someone can confirm this.

Yes the grey wire is correct.

From what I found tonight it was the white wire that powered the pump.This was the harness from the bulk to the pump.So I'm figuring that the gray wire that everyone is saying is the wire before the bulkhead connector?I put a voltage meter on the 2 grays in the harness and one read 5v and the other 0 volts when starting the car.The white wire would read 12v for a second when key is turned to run.Then when I started the car it had the battery voltage on it.When I cut the wire the car would not run due to no fuel.

I'm not sure about the wire color after the rear seat relay. When I wired my Walbro in-line pump I powered it from the aux. positive post near the fuse boxes in the engine compartment. I used a 30 amp relay with a 20 amp fuse and triggered the relay off the gray fuel pump power wire coming out of the fuse box. Many people told me not to try to power the pump off of the small factory power wire (too much voltage drop).

I actually just needed that wire to power a relay.I ran a 10 gauge wire back to power a Kenne Bell boost a pump.The stock pump feed switches the relay to power the pump,then when we spray the nitrous another relay kicks in and adds the extra voltage that we set.
