Edit: Got it! I loosely connected the wires, hooked up the battery, and flipped it on.

I’m trying to wire up a chassis harness to my embedded fuel pump. The harness is from Honda and uses conventional red/black wiring, but the fuel pump is European (French chassis but raced in the UK, so it could be a British fuel cell) and it has blue and white wires. I just need to figure out which one is positive and which is negative.

Any ideas?

(The car, in case you’re wondering why a French car used in the UK has Honda wiring:)

Can’t you just run the pump with both polarities and figure out which ways pumps in and which way pumps out?

Yea it looks like that’s the only way, the wiring is hard to reach so I was hoping that I’d only have to do it once.

Just wire it to battery without installing?

Try a remote power source/spare battery with test leads. Useful to have for other things as well. Test pump that way, test wiring by going power on, match. Other than that I have nothing to add, other than I love how questions like this get asked here.

That’s what I ended up doing, problem solved!
