Re: Hot fuel pump fuse

Yeah, it is hard to figure out exactly what was wrong. I may have a somewhat flakey fuel pump as well that's just drawing a lot or something. I tend to agree some on the use of a more dedicated robust power board, but I do find the relay board very handy for the sensor wiring at least. Makes it a fa...

Hot fuel pump fuse

So way back a few years ago when I first installed my Megasquirt in my 67 Dart 5.7 Hemi swap, I had an interesting issue come up. I put in a brand new fuel tank with built in fuel pump (typical Walbro 255 or equivalent), and took it for the first test drive to the gas station. I got back home and de...
