Changed a bad relay tonight with a spare I had in the parts box and was wondering if all relays are created equal. What came out was the silver one I replaced it with a black one.

My understanding is that the red relays were different than the black relays, and were designated to be used as fuel pump relays.
Is this true, or just another story I've heard??? Eric Read Edit: I understand that the red relays have a noise suppression diode across the coil. Can anybody confirm this????? |
