Default Stock fuel pump with 450 on Hobbs
Anyone install a 450 on a Hobbs switch in conjunction with their stock Fuel pump? I was planning on converting to return style and since I have a flex fuel pump I was going to keep that and throw a 450 in the tank set on a Hobbs switch. Good or bad?

I think the problem with the Hobbs is if it fails, you're fked.

I've run a BAP on my FF pump for almost 2 years without issue.

Kenne Bell.

2 wires, done.

Yes, it overdrives the pump all the time. The BAP comes with a Hobbs switch if you desire to run it later.

Do they work with the pulse width modulated fuel pumps? I tried looking up what vehicles have them but no luck. Mine is 2012 2500hd with flex fuel
