Temporary use of electric fuel pump

[gary j zingle]

"nope, the point is , I am not sure why folks just don't
let the electric pumps run all the time like all the cars
do now...... does not cost anything and you do not
have to remember to turn it on when you have a
vapor lock or need more gas on a long pull. ?????"


Actually the comment you referred to was only
suggested as a painless way of attempting to
find the source of the surging. I too certainly
support things that control themselves.

e.g. the P.O. put an electric fan in front of the radiator
in series, an ignition on circuit to a cheap toggle
switch under the dash.

Since it would be better in series with a temp control
switch on the motor I took it apart.

It won't even be necessary to put it on an "ignition
on" circuit anymore. The additional benifit being that
the fan would be controlled by motor temp only so it
could cool down the compartment after the engine is
shut off.

Only problem is that with all the projects presently
underway the result has been an electric fan
that is no longer connected to anything!!!

Yep
you are one step up from me,at least you have a fan. I want, but do not
have a fan to cool the engine compartment. I think I am going to put in a
fan pointing down under the passenger seat like Claude..... also on a
thermostat.....
