Block off the mechanical like TC suggests. You may find that running electrics only works just fine. I haven't had one problem running with no mechanical, and once the motor starts...you hear very little from the pump at idle, and nothing once underway. Ran my Butler with electrics only as well. If for some reason you want the dual pickup...you can always go back and hook it up.

Sorry, but with approximately 40 freeking gallons of fuel sloshing around back there, I find the concept of having a ''reserve" setup to be somewhat questionable. And when I decide to floor the sumb!tch, I doubt I'll want to have to remember to flip the switch for the electric pumps.

There's also a bit of extra security. With the battery cutoff switch, and unmarked switches on the dash...might cause the bad guy a bit of hesitation in trying to steal it.

Either way...the neat thing is that you get to do it any way you want.
