oil pressure safety switch for use with electronic fuel pump

so basically this came about as I wanted to only have my fuelpump (electronic mounted near the fuel tank) pumping, when the motor has oil pressure. This then arises the question, what if the car has not started in months and the fuel lines are dry, so I implemented a primer switch to prime the carbs before actually turning over the motor.
It uses 3 relays, but you could simplify my diagram my removing the 'oil psi safety switch relay' and wiring 87 on the primer relay onto 86 on the fuel pump relay. I just like relays and somehow ended up using 3 of them.. in rerospect, 2 relays would work fine. |

 Re: oil pressure safety switch for use with electronic fu... On our race car we use a Peel LPG safety switch P/N CP30 to power the fuel pump.
Uses ignition pulse signal to activate, not oil pressure.
Then have another momentary switch to activate it for priming, works well.

Re: oil pressure safety switch for use with electronic fu... Very similar to Datsun factory electric fuel pump wiring. See Fuel Pump Relay Circuit |
