Power/Charging Port Issue:
When my boys built my truck, they added an under-dash phone charging port, wired through a switch to the accessory pin in the fuse block.

Do I need an electric fuel pump!
I removed the air cleaner lid and manually operated the throttle level ... actually saw streams of fuel coming out of the squirters. No return line on the fuel pump, BTW.- Walstw01
