It might be enough to test a dry pump just to see if it runs, but I'm sure it won't run a pump that is actually pumping gas. I find that that usually takes about 4 Amperes at 14V, and the little transistor batteries just can't do that. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
