Re: Another Fuel Pump Discussion...My Wild Hair Idea

Electric fuel pumps are dangerous -- they can stay on after a collision and still force fuel at the engine bay. Also you run the risk of flooding if you don't play your cards right.
With an in-cab tank, the proximity works to the mechanical fuel pump's advantage.
Save the electric pump for after installing a Suburban tank.
And why a fuel Cut/Off?

To quote CMDR Scott of StarFleet:
''The more you mess with the plumbing,
the easier it is to stop up the drain.''
