Hi guys.
In the process of getting the old v8 to burst into life.
I was going to re route the electric fuel pump, but in the interest of simply getting the car to go, I have refitted it back to where the previous owner had it on the front inner right wing, in the engine bay.
The last owner had begun to move it from this position as apparently it was getting vapor lock.
I am not entirely certain how to go about this, so I have put it back to the original position, and will sneak it down to a nearby auto elec for some advice.
Which brings me to the current challenge.
I reconnected everything to where it previously was. (I think)
The power for the pump comes from what appears to be a wire that is tapped into the loom, and the negative is earthed to the inner front wing.
When i connect he battery, the pump chatters into life and successfully begins pumping fuel.
However, as you would know, I dont want it to QUITE do this just yet!!
What would be making it pump now...upon powering up the battery, as opposed to when it should do when the ignition is turned on?
Any advice on a more suitable position and how to retain the reserve line would be much appreciated.
I have looked at other posts regarding this, but they haven't quite answered it.
the pump is a "Facet cube" i think.
