I added a 3rd pump to my triple hat. Running Walbro pumps, if i added the 3rd do i need to run a different FPDM, or is the stock one still ok. I never had issues with the 2 pumps on it, but with the 3rd im curious if it will still be ok?

No you will have to do some mods of some sort. The stock FPDM can only run two pumps in a Returnless setup.

Two of the main options is run 3 FPDMs or run something like a MDM that is a repeater. Or ditch all that crap and go return style.

Its a return style setup, the pumps run at all times if that matters?

Ah ok never mind what I said. I trashed my FPDM and went with triple relays. Not sure what the stock FPDM can do in a return style setup.

Atm is has 2 pumps running from the FPDM to 2 seperate relay switches, then to the pumps. Im assuming i would just have to wire in 1 more relay to the other pump. Everything is powered from the battery on a dedicated power line.

As long as your FPDM is simply used to trigger the relays, yes do as you said above. A better question is, why do you even have a FPDM? Use the switched power going to the FPDM to trigger your relays. The same wire you'd cut to install a BAP pre-FPDM. Then you can take the FPDM out altogeher.

I may not even be running off the FPDM. Im not even sure, i just followed the directions from lethal performance that came with the kit. Some wires were tapped into on the harness, thats all i can remember. Going to give it a shot anyways and see what happens.

Man, while it's nice to have someone like Lethal Performance put everything in one bag for you and give you nice step-by-step cut here/solder here steps, the problem is- you don't know what you are looking at now.

When I did mine- it was more like, "OK I have a BAP now". KB said to wire it post-FPDM, so those directions were out. Went on Modfords and read up on a pre-FPDM install. Once you think it through, and understand how it works- it sticks with you. I installed my BAP 6 years ago and clearly remember every part needed and exactly how it is wired. Therefore I can easily troubleshoot it. I know where the input voltages are, how the relay wiring is setup, and where the ouput voltage goes. Those "cut and play" kits really do people a disservice- *especially* when modifying the factory electrical wiring setup.

I got everything wired up in about a hour. I remembered how everything was wired before, its just alot of stuff going on back there. Between the BAP, 3 relays, and some other wires it was a bit confusing at first but GTG now.
