Voltage regulator

[Sandy]

If you boost the voltage with one of these you will shorten the life of the
pump.  I think jacobs uses something like that for some of the ignition
products.  You would be better off getting the correct pump and regulator,
or an additional pump and second regulator and split the fuel rails. These
things are a hack, they will work, but at what expense. Better to spend the
$$ on the correct parts then to mess with that kind'a crap. I wonder if
they use the Nology wires in side of it to increase the voltage and
current, damm you could make one yourself if you could get that magic wire
;-). Just kidding, but better to solve the fuel problem with a  larger or
second pump.
