Fuel Pump install question

[oc192]

OK, I am going to install my new sender, pump, gas tank, and hotwire kit over the weekend. When I have the ractronix in tank wire harness connected to the pump and sender, is it safe to apoply 12v to see if the pump comes on? Or do I need to install the tank, add gas, try it, if it fails remove everything etc etc?

Thanks
Don

If you hook up everything to the harness, you can use the fuel pump test lead under the hood to BRIEFLY check if the pump runs. I say briefly because the fuel cools the pump as well as prevents the gears from grinding themselves into oblivion. I do this as a test before I actually put the pump in the tank and button everything back up.

Thanks guys, gave it some quick juice and the pump came on....looks like it is wired correctly.
