Water in fuel sensor,
Heater bowl sensor
and 1 other sensor.
No fuel pressure sensor that I can recall.

I have no sensors hooked up to my fuel bowl.

I cannot remember what the sensor on the bottom of the fuel bowl is, but I have not had that one since I bought the truck, and I took out the water sensor too.

Its de fuel restriction sensor, in the early bowls was on the bottom (back) and in later on the FPR.
Some people uses the connector to that sensor to activate the new fuel electric pump. IDK

So can that be wired straight to the pump? Does it have some sort of relay on it or something?

As I told IDK, but I have read about that in some electric fuel conversion.

You shouldn't need any of the fuel bowl stuff plugged in, even on the cali. It might trip the CEL without the EBPV plugged in.. Not sure on the cali trucks. That should be about all you need to worry about that might trip the CEL with this project.

Most guys say just cut the fuel bowl wires and leave the IPR wires when you do Electric Conversion.

I got my 8'x8' flatbed with boxes and installed for about $3500. With a gooseneck hitch.

Using the fuel bowl bolts. So the Y will be under the the Y tube infront of the turbo. So
It will be down in there and thats why the fep is at an angle. I can get away with shorter supply and return lines. Getting those pressed at a local shop. Just got to get it set in place and get some measurements.
