i would have thought that it will constantly run and keep the pressure up but then the amount of feul returned into the tank will vary depending on how much feul your engine is depending.

Ignition = pump on on a injection/turbo Mini. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

i wouldnt have it running all the time you can wire it up so it runs when cranking then runs when the engine is running. also you need some for of cut off in emergency like a inertia switch which will kill the pump when you crash
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Cheers guys, yeah im gonna nab an inertia switch off a car asap. Not running it without one. have access to a range rover classis one if that will do?

Nabbing a relay off an escort sounds like a plan, any reason why an escort though?lol If I'm thinking along the same lines as Bat, the early Golf GTi had the same - basically the early fuel injected cars used a predominantly mechanical fuel injection system (K-Jetronic I think it was called) which didn't have electrical injectors under the control of an ECU, but a mechanical metering system instead, so there wasn't an ECU to contol the stop start function of the pump relay. Instead they built the circuitry on a small board inside the relay case. It comprised a timer to run the pump for a couple of seconds when the ignition was turned on and then it stopped the pump until the engine was started. You'll need the wiring diagram of the donor car to see what the engine running signal to the relay is - on the Golf I think it was either oil pressure or tacho, can't remember which. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

you can do it with a normal 5 pin relay and using the oil pressure light feed. think metty turbos do it this way. this is the way i used to do it but i never quite perfected it and the oil light used to glow very dimmly when engine was running i was sure it just needed a diode or summot.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

This has always been my wiring idea. ive never probs with lights on and that, however i did always have that doubt in my mind. i usually run stuff on teir own. so if its dodgy guage or whatever, its stand alone, and easy to identify just my auld thoughts regards colin Edited by 1972-ANGUS on 4th Oct, 2008. |
