fuel pump voltage

[Peter Kemos <peterk@domain.elided>]

The solution is to install a relay near the fuel pump, and use your 
current "+" wire as the relay switch.
Use new, 14 or 12 gauge wire for the rest of the relay wiring.  Your 
pump throughput can noticeably increase simply by doing this.  Takes 
care of low fuel pressure issues as well (but is not a solution for a 
clogged tank filter).
