try rewiring your fuel pump, with a stereo amp wiring kit or similar , to draw straight from the battery ie. run continuously from 12volts...my gemi has been running like this for years, and when i got an amp , i just used the kit that was already there for the fuel pump, and wired my pump to the demister switch so i can turn it on/off!!!!from the dash
