DVCOBRA You are saying that the relay goes bad. Does the fuse blow to this curcuit? You need to use an amp meter in line between the pump and the relay and see how much ampage is being drawn. You may have a leak ground to the relay, OHM it out. Your pump could be going bad, is it internal or external of the gas tank? If you pull apart the relay, are the contact points burnt? What size wire are you running to and from the relay. I recommend 10 gauge for power into and out of relay. Also what is the amp reading on the relay? If it is a 20 amp, get a 30. You have to remember that the amp spike when the curcuit is turned on could be as high as 50 amps for a split second. for an intermitant internal short you need to OHM out the fuel pump when hot. I am guessing that the pump should be 10-20 ohms, lower you will need to call who makes the pump and see what the spec is. If your fuel pump is in the gas tank all ways keep a 1/4 tank of fuel in it. This helps keep the pump cool. Rick Lake
