Fuel Pump Safety Cut-Out Controller for 24vdc
Posted: Tue May 09, 2017 11:05 pm
I was looking into this issue - what are people doing when they switch from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric fuel pump to prevent the pump from continuing to run when the engine stops - especially if there was an accident or roll-over? The same issue applies to trucks running propane conversion systems also...
I have been emailing with a guy who builds a nice little unit that provides this protection by sensing the ignition pulses - if they stop then it kills the fuel pump (or would shut off the LPG supply). The controller also provides a 3 second "priming" period before the engine starts when power is applied.
Is anyone aware of other devices that do this what work for 24vdc systems? The company is open to making a 24vdc version but would like to see how much interest there is in it being available.
So - would you want one? Thoughts? Other options / opinions?
Here is a link to the company's webpage on their current 12v version: http://www.revolutionelectronics.com/Fuel_Pump.html
Its cost is $65 retail - but I would think a 24vdc version might cost a little more due to the very low volume they would produce.
