Upon putting the wood in my bed I unknowingly knocked a wire off the electric FP.
A few days later I went for a ride noticing I didn't hear the electric running but I thought no problem as the stock one will work until I get home to figure out why the electric wasn't working.
After about 5-6 miles going up a hill it died like it was out of gas. And wouln't restart.
Am I wrong in thinking either one should work if the other fails or do I need to remove one or the other? Or was this just a fluke?
I am sure I used to do this back in the day.
Thanks,

On my 350 I have the mechanical fuel pump and heres my set-up.
Fuel Cell in the tool box ...fuel pick up is 2ft.+ higher than the fuel pump...check out my photo bucket picks.
it draws the fuel outta the fuel cell in a HURRY...NP's gettin fuel to flow to the pump at all.
I would think removin one or the other will cure your problem.
I see no need for BOTH.
Just my 2 pennies.
