[T2] Fuel filter and alternator

[accessys at smart.net]

I have auto racing nitrous oxide electronic valevs mounted on the 
underside of my fuel tank (two as it is fuel injection) and wired into my 
ignition.  no power, no fuel flow.  they are gas rated. but not cheap but 
a lot cheaper than a crispy bus.
