What piping do you use and what fittings do you use to connect that piping to the pump?

I have to say it was cobbled together I use some clear airline pipe (so I can see the liquid gas flowing) and I modified a European adaptor I had lying around to screw into the car fill point and the usual lefthand thread propane tank fitting it works well however I am going to modify it a bit as I want the car fitting to be on a removable quick release so it's easier to screw it into the car

Significantly better than the 1600 Ford X-flow in mine or the subsequent 1800 LET Opel Manta unit that ate headgaskets.

When I got it it had no engine so I had choice and the secu3 is an amazing bit of kit using open source software I have the basic sparks only one (90 quid delivered) but they do one with full sequential injection supporting up to 12 cylinders only problem is they are made in the Ukraine so postage is a bit hap hazard atm there is a forum about it although some of it is in russian
