The reason I did this is because, I didn't like the fact that my current 10 gage fuel pump wire transfers into a stock sized 16 gage.
List of supplies:
10 gage wire
1 Female spade connector
Grommet
RTV
Drill
Drill bits
1 Case of Beer
1. To start, remove the sending unit from the tank.
2. Remove pump from sending unit.
3. Drill a hole in the top of the sending unit to pass the new 10 gage wire through.
4. Install grommet in the hole in the top of the sending unit, and pass the wire though it.
5. Strip end of 10 gage wire and install the female spade connector. I used the kind that has heat shrink tube on it.
6. Take the negative wire from the pump harness and remove it from the plastic clip that attaches it to the fuel pump.
7. Re-install fuel pump, and connect the new 10 gage wire and ground to the pump.
8. After pump is installed I used some RTV to seal up the area around the grommet and wire.
9. Re-install sending unit into tank, and install tank back to the car.
10. Connect the existing Hot Wire to the new wire going into tank.
