Title: Electric fuel pump electrics...... Post by: donk r8 on March 20, 2014, 07:12:04 PM Hi guys, going to fit the electric pump when I have time and I was going to run a feed to the ignition, is there a live feed anywhere else that's nearer............. :-\ Title: Re: Electric fuel pump electrics......

Join into the appropriate ignition live wire on the wiring loom close to the ignition switch. Find a convenient way through the bulkhead for your single wire. Obtain a 4 prong relay. Use the ignition feed as your relay trigger wire. Another prong to earth. Another prong to the fuel pump. The remaining to the battery + with an in line fuse. Keep this wire tidy by running around back of engine using the clips that secure the starter wire to the car bulkhead. It is worth noting that should you be unfortunate to have a substantial front end crash, enough to part the fuel line from the carb, the fuel pump will continue spurting into a hot engine bay until you turn the ignition off.
