Fuel Pump Fuse Rating
I have one of these fuel pumps

M?hash=item370086088838&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
But what fuse rating do you guys use ?? original manual says 20 amp, but this seems a bit high to me.
Cheers

my entire ign live on the engine loom(which powers injection, spark, ecu, power commander, fuel pump, clocks etc) is 15A so does sound a bit high.

If its only feeding the fuel pump then a 10 amp should work ok but a 20 amp would also be ok as it would still blow before the wiring melted if there
is a fault with the pump it is a sealed unit so doesnt need to be protected the fuse is just protecting the wiring and fuel pump relay.
