[Spridgets] Power to fuel pump

[Dean Hedin]

"Lack of genny output at low R's" should not have anything to do with it.
If you have good charge on the battery then it should be able to run the
fuel pump.

If it can't then it probably means the generator/regulator is not setup
correctly (in which case you would have other problems, like not being able
to crank the starter) or there is some other issue, like a poor connection
to the pump.

I've been mulling this question over in my mind, and thought I'd try to get
some different views on it.
I have the power for my facet fuel pumps (both MKI and MKII) run through the
ignition switch (the MKII has a separate dash switch as well), and both cars
are running the original genny.
IF I were to rewire the fuel pump through a relay so that the pump gets
straight voltage form the battery, would this make a difference in how the
pump performs when the cars are at low RPMs.
They both seem to have a propensity to want to stall after a while at low
R's,
and the discussion about alternators and the lack of genny output at low R's
got me thinking about this.
It might be the cause of some of my 'running out of gas' with 3 gals left in
the tank.
