Electric Fuel Pump, Is a relay needed?

Crouch fuel injection does not use a computer to control fuel injection.

Karl, you should have a relay. I run these relays for everything. GM used them on EVERYTHING in the late 80's-early 90's. They are weatherpack terminal relays and 99% of them have a bracket with two bolt holes to mount. I've got one that controls my fans, one for my fuel pump, and one for my on-board air all on the firewall next to each other. The only relay I have that isn't one is the relay for my hellas because I used the relay that came with them.

Can I just snag one from Ho'reilly's. I don't really want to swing by the junk yard?

Perhaps something like this:

Yeah, you can snag the relay from the parts store, but the connector will need to come from the boneyard, but I guess you can just use spade terminals. I'll give you a connector next time I see ya if you remind me.

Or perhaps this little guy:

Yeah, that's the relay. You still need the weatherpack connector for it. But like I said, you can just use spade terminals to get it going.

Karl I have a bagful of those relays and pigtails cause I snag every one I see whenever I hit up the yards. Next time you're in town give me a shout.

Fred do you just have a single 30 amp relay for your fan? I tried that with my windstar fans on my suburban and would burn up relays every month or so. I now have two relays per fan in parallel and, while ghetto, it has worked great so far.

Can I get two? I need to wire up some lights.

Yeah, I should really have two, but one has seemed to work out pretty well. The only time I've had a fan relay let go is when I burned up one of the fan motors. But, now that I've discussed it, it will probably become a problem.

I can deliver a relay to Karl on friday.

Pretty sure I have several relays new in box from jegs from our electrical order's. I can check when I get home tomorrow and give you a call if you need one.
