Electrical Planning Notes:
Reference Sheet 3 and 4 for schematic wiring diagram examples. Use electrical components as described
including electrical connectors that are appropriate for the operating environment of the fuel system, whether its use
in street, racing, or marine applications. Electrical connectors for the power leads must be capable of high current
draw, note all connections, wire, and component rating requirements herein. Solder and use shrink wrap for wire
splices for extra reliability (unless high quality crimping is performed). Main wiring schematic diagram below shows
the control of relay by ignition switch. This source can be changed as described, or by a toggle switch. Some forms
of racing have specific rules regarding electrical switching of fuel pump. Consult appropriate racing guidelines,
rules, and regulations.

Attach switch and wiring as shown to the right, to operate pump at
continuous maximum speed while switch is in the open position
(position as shown in diagram). When the switch is in the closed position
(on), the pump will operate in reduced speed mode. To reverse the
desired switch action, refer to Example 4. Switch type can be a relay or
switching based on pressure or other means. Current draw through this
circuit is extremely low (much less than 1 amp), so a very low current rating
for this switch can be used. Use the diagram to the right as a guide to
properly wire this example. Reduced speed is recommended during long
periods of low engine fuel demand conditions to avoid fuel system heat
build-up.
