[QUOTE="Sinkingfast, post: 433731, member: 15306"] Gollygeewhiz...I have made posts without thoroughly reading prier posts also. So I can tell you didn't get it.. Its all about redundancy in important systems. There is no fuel pressure indicator on these motors. Why not back up an important system when one should or can. Maybe you haven't had an "oh crap..I'm done" moment..I've had several. You have more faith that bad things won't happen than I do. Think about the term "cruelty of statistics" and how it applies to life. Its kinda like racing ones auto around the streets with a passenger or others on the road. Why would something go wrong at that moment since it has not happened yet..much like a fuel system go down running wot from a storm. Other outboard systems are outa our hands but not the fuel system. And yes...one should not have to operate the backup pump in normal operation unless there is a fault. But when times get critical why not keep track of fuel pressure... [/QUOTE]
