[FC] Just Converted Van to Electric Fuel Pump

[Mikeamauro at aol.com]

Used one of the vendors kits. We (my genius buddy and I) used both an  
inertia and oil pressure switch. Also incorporated was a "fuel pump  blanking 
plate," allowing the use of a dummy stock fuel pump; this allows reuse  of the 
stock fuel line, in their original, factory locations. The kit, as  is, was 
very well put together and came with good instructions. However, we  didn't 
particularly like the idea of constantly running the fuel pump power load  
through the impact and oil pressure switches; so, a fuel pump  power relay 
was incorporated. Also problematic (with  the relay-added method, and, I 
believe, also the vendor method) would have  been the incorporation of the stock 
over-temp circuit: if the temp  switch made while the fuel pump was 
powered, the inline fuel pump fuse  would have been taken out (blown). This issue 
was side stepped by the use of a  judicially placed diode. My only 
reservation: the oil pressure switch  does not operate the oil warning light directly; 
rather, when/if oil pressure is  lost, the relay opens, and then the light 
comes on (the over temp  indication, however, operates independent of the 
relay). If  interested, the schematic may be viewed at:
