stevefoster Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Does anybody know what sort of current the Rover inertia switch can carry? Has anyone wired one up directly to switch a Facet or Webcon type fuel pump? What do you injection boys/girls do to prevent a fire risk if you crash? I could wire one up using a relay but I would prefer to keep things simple as less circuits mean less chances of failure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Jones Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Don't know about the Rover one but have used a Ford one in my Westfeild £23.44 from a Ford galaxy and others and have wired it direct to pump works ok. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Just 'split' the fuel pump live supply with the 'Rover' inertia switch. It'll be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Great. Thanks for the answers. I know the Webcon pump uses let amps than the Facets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 > What do you injection boys/girls do to prevent a fire risk > if you crash? Lots, if not all, of the ECU's have a facility built in to kill the fuel pump 3 seconds (say) after the engine stops running. I guess this does the same thing. If the accidents big enough to be unsafe then the risk of the engine still running must be small. Plus a big fuel leak will cause the engine to stop anyway. This is why you get the normal quick whirr then stop of the fuel pump when you first turn the ignition on. The pump runs to get fuel pressure up then stops after 3 secs if the engines not running.
