If so, how is it activated and how long do I leave the switch turned on before I start cranking?(2)  Once I turn on the ignition, should I be able to hear the fuel transfer pump react (make a sound to indicate it is working)?(3)  I've noticed that the fuel level (in the filter) seems to fluctuate but I haven't found any leaks yet....is the fuel level drop normal?</blockquote>
