fuel pump question

[Jason Haines]

No, the pump won't burn itself out (the pump doesn't know if you are using
the fuel in the engine or returning it to the tank). Using too big a pump
can hurt you in terms of added and unneeded current draw, additional noise
(bigger pumps tend to be noisier but this is probably not an issue on a
ZX-11) and increased fuel temperature.
