I had a good friend in college who owned a car called a YUGO. It was a cheaply made thing and it had a horrible tendency to go through fuel pumps for no apparent reason. Frustrated with breakdowns while traveling, her mechanic installed  an extra fuel pump  with a switch in a discreet location under the dash. From what I understand, when she experienced fuel pump failure while on the road, she simply flipped a switch under the dash and "presto" the car started right up and got her home without being stranded on the road. Of course college was 20 years ago and I don't have a clue how it was hooked up but I was thinking...... Could this idea be applied to my JH? I assumed the fuel pump was hooked up "inline" with the other one.  I was thinking it would be real convienent thing to have on the road. Of course, maybe this is just an impossible idea. Does anybody have any thoughts on the value of this modification or if it can even be done to a JH in the first place.
