Subject:4 pin fuel pump relay(s) question.

Hi all.

This is for my Jetta engine into Vanagon conversion, but I am using
the Vanagon FP.

My thought:

use '85 Vanagon relay block to mount relays needed for my
Jetta/Vanagon conversion. 2 of 3 needed fit, but Jetta FP relay does
not.

Jetta fuel pump relay has pins set up differently. 2 spades are
larger, one smaller. All in a different arrangement.

I have another VW relay with 4 pins. Compared to the Jetta relay, they
both have the same pin numbers and schematic label on them. No amp
rating, but they look like they do the same thing.

If the amperage rating is the same, could I swap in the other VW relay
or use a FLAPS type relay?

Pretty sure it would work safely, but just checking in with the more
knowedgable electrical minds.

Thanks!

Neil.
