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 !!!!
