[DeTomaso] Longchamp fuelswitch electrical

[Espen Graffer]

I agree, that's cool! :-)

But, I also don't agree. Me thinks the twin fuel system is quite cool. If
one fuelpump lets you down, you simply switch to the other one.

I have a schematic from a late Deauville, but I guess your Longchamp is
equal. It's rather simple. The switch routes power to either fuelpump (from
fuse #2), and at the same time switches signal from same side tank to the
instrument.

I will try to photo the schematic and send to you. Send your thanks to Jan
Krakevik ( http://www.jancarfactory.com/ ), who sent me the copy of the
schematic. You will find pictures of a Longchamp on his webpage.

Yours must be among the first Longchamps made.   Where did your father buy
it?

Longchamp information is pretty hard to come by.   Steve Wilkinson 
(www.panterasbywilkinson.com) *might* have a Longchamp wiring diagram?

One of the annoying things about the Longchamp/Deauville is the twin fuel 
tanks which aren't connected.   A popular modification is to rig up a
balance 
pipe between the two tanks, which eliminates the need for the switches on 
the dash.
