Is your tank full of shite that is killing the pumps?

Checked the voltage to the pump?

stedking

yep its all good .. could the relay course all these probs .. its the pink 1 ???

haz87

Relay wouldn't kill the pumps i wouldnt have thought (would cause spluttering etc tho if on its last legs)... anyway i would have thought if you'd gone to the trouble of doing voltage tests, you would have tested the relay

stedking

wen i put the last pump on the relay was fine but looked at it the other day n it was hot as fuck n my tester is broke at the min so i cant check it

have you changed the fuel filter recently??
If this is full of crap then id imagine it would be a problem getting fuel through also could burn out the pink relay, id think.
