Okay, everyone. I apologize for using all caps in my previous posting. I didn't know that it was offensive. I am very old schooled in mechanics so the explanation of how it works now days was very helpful. My unit is built on a Ford motorhome class A chassis 1996. When I disconnected the wire to the inline fuel pump at the inertia switch it probably was a not a good idea. However there was a very high amperage draw (way over 10 amps,) and I was afraid that the intank fuel pump was malfunctioning. I guess that I should just drop the 75 gal tank and replace the intank fuel pump. I want to thank everyone that took time to try and help me.
Before you drop the tank, check to see if you can't do a trap door in the floor above the pump works. It's been done many times with certain rigs and does save time and expense for what might be a next time and especially with so many problems arising with the pickup and hose for the genset fuel delivery system.
