i know on the tbi trucks the OSP would override the fuel pump relay after oil psi reached 3psi. the OPS is only meant to be a backup for when the relay would fail. i didnt know the 96+ still used this method and not sure they did but sure does sound like it. can anyone confirm?

Total cost was about $15.00 and I did the installation.

Shot in the dark since this is an old post but this is what I am trying to do and figure the best way, I was thinking to splice in a check valve with ****** ends into the nylon tubing coming from the tank.
However did u just use fuel hose with the valve and hose clamped the valve and then at the pump and where it connects to the hard line.
