>I have seen the subject of relays discussed here. I am an absolute
vacuum when it comes to electronics. It has been sugested I put my fuel
pump on a relay. Where do I get one and what would I look for, i.e.
voltage, amps, watts, etc. Thanks.

You can find automotive relays at any autoparts store or any Radio Shack.
You can also get them mail order from Digikey.com but they have a $25
minimum. Mouser.com has no minimum and carries a very similar product
line. I recomend the Pottter/Brumfield...er Tyco VF4 series relay. Get a
12 volt DC coil.
When wiring it up connect the coil to a switched 12 volt source (green or
white) wire and ground and connect one contact to 12 volts (brown wire)
through a 5 amp fuse. Connect the other contact to the hot lead on the
pump and the other lead from the pump goes to ground.
