hey guys just a quick question.
im setting up a 044 and surge tank, its fed by a stock intank pump, can i run the 044 off the same circuit as the intank pump, or do i need to run a seperate cicuit??

i spliced mine into the stock pump wiring with a fusible link on the power lead going to the 044...dont reckon it needs the fusible link but fitted it anyway...and i have a larger spare fuse in the glovebox for the fusebox in case the current draw is too much and blows it...so far so good havnt suffered any problems...

Posted on here before but musnt have worked. I believe u need to run a bigger wire than standard and a fuse and relay because the 044 draws more current(amps) than the standard fuel pump.

044's draw about 20 amps buddy. I would run a separate relay triggered by the in tank pump , with a supply wire straight off the +ve battery terminal & an inline fuse just after the battery .

all i do is run another power wire to the rear same size as an amp wiring kit 30-35 amp proof then i use the old wire to the tank to trigger a relay for each pump
