That was less than thrilling, let me tell you.
The new wiring will have a master relay that will kill the whole system for me.
I am adding more safety systems to my perminant system, things like:
A relief valve commonly found on an air compressor
A normally open solenoid that is energized closed when the system is "on", other wise no pressure will build, that will make it impossible for any water to go to the engine with the system is off
A "key on" power source
A manual reset brake interlock hold in circuit, where the water turns off when ever I touch the brake and I have to manually reengauge the water
