Its a vERY DANGEROUS thing to jump put the fuel pump relay! if you in an accident the pump will continue to run and pump out all the remaining gas through a ruptured line burning you up. This MUST not be done under any circumstances! Yes, I have them, it may be a week or 2 till I can get to my shed though so Im sure someone else on the list can help out.
