Warning. For What? The wires aren't aren't going to spark to the pump with the ignition off. Unless of couse someone has it hooked directly to the battery, which I don't think that has ever happened. Not In a Vanagion anyway. Well, maybe. But I seriously doubt it. Unwarranted warning. Nothing can happen as long as the ignition is off. "You Put The Bomb On Me, Baby" :) Everytime I read stories like this I see a guy connecting a battery to the fuel pump with wires that are sparking around fuel vapors. To the unobvious here: Caution! fuel vapors and sparks = bomb! big explosion! Fire! WARNING WARNING !!!! ERic |
