I have one question to you guys.
Can I control the fuel pump by using the wire to the fuel pump off-switch?

Why?
What I'm about to do is to insert resistance to the fuel pump.
I bought one resistance switch (with 4 levels 0,1,2,3) and put 2 wire on it.
Now I will cut one wire that leads to the fuel pump off-switch (if it is OK) and insert this resistance switch and therefore control how powerful the fuel pump is.
My friend did this to his car and went from 18liters/100km to 8liters/100km and the car stopped burning the oil (is now clear as new) and the CO2 went from 2,2 to 0,0...something. You can save a lot of $$$$

If it works than I will insert pictures how I did it.

Tuning in... the entire concept makes no sense on several different levels... Making the pump run slower by inserting a resistor in-line doesn't, by itself, change the fuel pressure. If you manage to slow it enough that it affects the fuel pressure, the engine will just increase the duty cycle of the injectors. If you manage to reduce the fuel supply so much that it causes the engine to run lean, now you're looking at a check engine light for starters, along with possible engine damage, overheating, cooked catalysts, and glowing exhaust pipes.... At best.
 






id say your friend doesn't know what hes talking about, this is not possible for reasons already stated, and again, if you did succeed at lowering the amount of fuel injected, you will seriously damage many components of the engine.
