Modern cars turn the pump on with the ignition switch, therefore, they don't depend on having oil pressure.
The whole, "flaming wreck" scenario is handled with a g-force switch.
Bump a grocery cart in the parking lot and the fuel pump shuts off.
What do you mean "it's a joke"?It's a joke. That's what, "" means.
<impolite language removed by moderator>We are talking about 1940's through early 1960's vehicles. Since the carburetors are designed so primitively and the carb's float shutoff valve is fragile at best, we do not want constant pressure on it. We want it only to be stressed when it has to be, just like GM designed them when they put in the mechanical pump. You can get away with running it all the time, maybe. I do not come up with this stuff alone, I do research and call my expert friends who advise me what works and what doesn't. Like I wouldn't put an electronic circuit together without asking the experts here, I wouldn't propose a change to the fuel system without asking the experts there.
The "parking lot with a shopping cart line" is a joke. Isn't it?What do you mean "it's a joke"?
I thought you meant the idea of a g-force triggered cutoff switch was the joke.The "parking lot with a shopping cart line" is a joke.
See post #3.
Then it would always bypass oil switch when ign. is on.Prior to 1995 I can't find any reference to them, so about then. I had no idea either. Meanwhile, I am looking at using a relay to make break the power line on IGN so that in its relaxed state it always defers to the condition of the oil pressure sensor. It's probably not that easy, but that is the rabbit hole I am checking out right now.
