I'd get a fuel-proof bulkhead gland fitting and feed the pumps cables through it, and split the connection externally if you want a plug and socket ...

Am I the only one who feels that the source text is a translation (and possibly reviewed machine translation)? #704, être couru, localisation/sée, provision, requiert, sera déterminé...

: Good solution! (and yes, I agree 'couru' definitely sounds like a too-literal translation of the EN 'run'; perhaps this was simply 'FR' written by an EN-speaker?)
