			* Attaching wires properly to the SDS supplied fuel pumps is cumbersome once they are mounted in the tunnel. The nuts are tiny and you need to torque the nut against the underlying nut to avoid twisting the hole post, and you need to be careful not to strip the post. Consider putting wires on them before you mount them. SDS suggests using 15A breakers for the pumps (and they confirm that this is sufficient) however the pumps have a note engraved to use 20A ones. If you go with 20A breakers, you will need AWG 12 wire, else 14 for 15A.

	* It is essential for the entire system that the fuel pressure is correctly set. You will do that by adjusting the fuel pressure regulator according to what the avionics show. Make sure, you select the correct fuel pressure sensor make and model in the avionics setup menu. Best to temporary hook up a fuel pressure gauge to have a second mean to confirm, it is set correctly.		* It is essential for the entire system that the fuel pressure is correctly set.

	* The proper and careful installation of the silver fuel injector adapter into the cylinder head is important. Follow the most recent SDS instructions. Use only the referenced high temperature blue Loctite 246. Hand tight, then 1 1/2 turns. There are older instructions out there that reference 60 inch pounds torque which is no longer a desired tightening method and may not be enough to hold the adapters in.		* The proper and careful installation of the silver fuel injector adapter into the cylinder head is important.
