are u planning on running all 3 all the time? i think i first tried this and burnt something in the tank having all 3 on all the time.

later on the 3rd pump was wired to a boost controller/voltage regulator. so this pump only comes on during boost and i can control how much voltage the 3rd pump gets.

also..on the 3rd pump hose was a 1 way check valve. when the 2 pumps were on it was feeding the fuel rail and pushing some out of the 3rd pump (non boost)

this is just some of trails and tribs..i have encountered in running this setup for about 1 or so.

yup. EBOOST2 will be controlling the third pump.

as of right now, there is no check valve on the third pump. I haven't seen anyone run a check valve when they run 1 pump with a second setup on a hobbs switch, if it works for them then this will work for me

FAILED...

update
lol the first time it ran fine but now it sseems to not like it. Fuel pressure drops and engine dies if I give it any throttle at all. But if I hotwire the third pump it is fine.

so... going to find a check valve to stick in there.


Should have listened to Mecham
