Fuel pump booster
Interesting mod. I would like to know if my motorhome F53 chassis would have the same wiring (colour codes etc) and could also benefit from this booster? My RV is a 1999 F53 V10 and I tow a Honda Civic. I installed additional bulbs and separate wiring in the Civic rather than cut into the cars light wiring.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Jun-02 AT 06:52 PM (EST)] The F53 chassis has the same colors on it also, check your voltage near the tank, if its low it will help. If you do the mod pick your supply off of the battery lead going to the generator, its closer. Make sure you fuse it at the power source.

Yea, $10 versus $199 ?!?!?! THAT seems like a no brainer. Fortunately for us dummies, there's guys like HighTech who hang out here. Now if he could just figure out a way to make a $10 Whipplecharger, heck, I'd even go up to $100 if I HAD to, haha. Maybe HighTech could figure a way to use the water pump on the extra Maytag washer I have sittin in my garage taking up space to build a S/C. Heck, it already has a fanbelt pulley on it. Howsabout it HighTech ?

There has been a lot of good info in this thread. I have been very interested in this since I have a 99 F-250 SC V10. I finally got to check my voltage this evening and it measures 13.2 VDC. I agree with Nomo that everyone needs to check their voltage before upgrading something that doesn't need to be fixed.
BTW, my truck was built in March 1999, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it...
Best regards,
Jeff

Shouldn't we be checking the voltage under load? This is
not a recirculating system is it? I *think* the pump
motor may draw more at speed. A drop there would still
be assisted by a better connection to the battery/alternator.

Thanks Tim. Good info. I thought they were moving away from
the recirculating systems because of the cost of the return
fuel line.
