tilt is only a motor driving a pump in each direction..dont understand you question but ask for a single pole change over relay and check the numbers match wHat I have given you..personally I solder direct to the tags rather than use crimp on connectors ...

Thank you for this instruction. It helped me too; saved a lot of $$$.
I'd be swabbing a coat of silicon sealant around the seams to keep fuel fumes and moisture out.
