[Mobile-Portable] 96 Ford Bronco fuel pump

[Jerry Flanders]

Some auto companies provide a RFI suppression kit 
for the fuel pump, IIRC - ask.

FYI - The fuel pumps that I have had always came 
on for several seconds to pressurize the fuel 
line as soon as I turned the key on. I didn't 
have to engage the starter or start the car - 
just turn the key. They made a slight vibration, 
and I could actually hear them running. Would 
have made it easy to see if they were causing 
electrical noise by themselves. Don't know if you 
can use this technique now with the tank out.
