How much current does a fuel pump draw?

Anyone know roughly how much current a fuel injection pump will draw? It's a standard vauxhall astra type one. Just trying to work out if the wiring I have in place is man enough for the job!

Cheers

Not sure how much that actual pump will draw but fuel pump circuit is normally fused at 10amps.

The one on my bike engine draws 4A running flat out..

I think that my bike engine pump is running via a 5A fuse...

My walbro GSL392 says the supply should be fused with a 20A fuse.....

That said, I always ran my old pumps both off a 10A fuse with no problem.

Standard Kawasaki engined Kawasaki pumped fuel pump runs a 10A Fuse. Same as fitted on the bike.
