I too am suffering from the fuel pump relay failure issue. I have a 1977 Group B 3.3L tarmac rally 911. Some 7 years after its last major rebuild, the fuel pump relay failed last year. I got going temporarily by moving the horn relay into the fuel pump relay socket. I bought a new red relay and fitted. The specialist dealer recommended I also buy a spare, on the basis that although the originals were somewhat prone to failure, the more recent ones seem even more fragile. After less than 10 hours use, the replacement failed yesterday. It was slightly warm but not hot. I am reluctant to keep buying these defective and expensive relays and would prefer to go for a more permanent solution. Can one buy better quality relays in the multi-pin original fitting or is the best thing to engineer a total replacement using a heavier duty remote mounted relay?
