Can anybody explain how a fuel pump relay works?

Hi everybody

Well I am really stuck on this one - after trying to sort out why my van wouldn't ignite, I have finally managed to get it to strike up but then it suddenly dies...so I'm getting there. It seems to be the fuel pump relay, it's like a dual relay with 11 terminals on it. I can't get one anywhere but I'm sure I can make one, possibly out of 2 standard relays? I just don't understand how the fuel pump relay actually works

My engine is a 1980 2l CV fuel injection one

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Matt

Hi Herb. Thanks for the info but with a bit of patience and a visit to Maplin I made a new dual relay myself and it cured the problem! Seems that the old one had come loose in its metal housing and caused me quite a few problems
