Here I'm going to show you how to upgrade your fuel pump housing feed line to -8an and your return to -6an and install an Evo fuel siphon in your 2g DSM.
Why would you want to install the evo siphon?
1: You're upgrading your return line with a bulkhead which will eliminate the hardline that seats in the OEM siphon.
2: You have issues with your return line o-ring not staying seated.
Here's a link to my thread on how to remove/install a Walbro 450 if you need the steps prior to what I'm covering in this thread:

Here's a list of what you'll need:
Evo siphon - MR431128 https://stmtuned.com/products/fuel-tank-assist-pump-oem-evo-7-8-9
-8AN bulkhead - PSI-01138 https://www.extremepsi.com/store/Al...h-Nylon-Washer-and-Nut-BLACK-FRIDAY-SALE.html
-6AN bulkhead - PSI-01136 https://www.extremepsi.com/store/Al...h-Nylon-Washer-and-Nut-BLACK-FRIDAY-SALE.html
Gates R10 5/16" hose - 27093 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R5XSGU/
Vibrant low-profile 90* -8an & -6an fittings
Extreme's bulkheads are the same as the STM ones but cost way less... and I recommend the fuel hose I posted because it's made to be submerged in fuel and will last longer in e85.
First you'll remove your fuel pump as shown in my other thread.
Remove your pump, float, siphon, etc.
Cut off your fuel feed hardline and return hardline using whichever method you desire.
DO NOT CUT YOUR SIPHON/TRANSFER HARDLINE!
I used a pair of bolt cutters and cut both sides of the hardlines off since friend was borrowing my air compressor.
You can use a hand saw, cutting wheel, whatever you have to get the job done.
Then proceeded with a drill bit opening them up to about 9/16" for the bulkheads.
For those that noticed.. This is my spare pump housing because I accidentally cut the siphon hardline on the other and forgot to take pictures when modding my current housing.
Attach your -8/-6an feed/return bulkheads to the pump housing.
If you decide NOT to buy the Evo siphon, here is a picture on how to use the OEM siphon.
Bulkhead to R10 hose to section of the cut hardline hose to OEM siphon
Here it is installed.
I do NOT recommend this setup but to each their own if you wanna save ~$29.
I cut my Gates hose to size and attached the Evo siphon.
BEFORE you do this, shorten your Evo siphon now to match the OEM length...
It's supposed to be about 1/8" past the metal bracket with the bolt hole running through it.
I forgot and had to take it back apart after putting everything together.
Install your fuel pump now, reconnect the electrical plug, and reattach the lower metal bracket.
Install your fuel level sensor & attach your low profile 90* fittings.
I marked where the Evo siphon should be cut in this picture.
Here is the siphon cut to the correct length, all that's left is install your fuel pump filter and put it back in the car. Enjoy!
If you have any questions, please feel free to message or email me.
If you found this install helpful and would like to donate for my time, my PayPal is [email protected] or remove if it's not allowed.
In my other thread where I installed the Walbro 450, I drilled out my siphon to 1/8" but I didn't do it to this one yet.
I plan to get it back in the car and see if it's needed since I upgraded my return line size to see how it affects my system.
Here's a thread on how to determine if you may need to enlarge your siphon bore:
