    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    Wow, that's much nicer than what I've got going on. I'd love to get my hands on one. Thanks for posting that up! If you know anybody with an extra and willing to sell please let me know. BTW, where's the wire for the pump? I don't see it coming out of the top of the fuel pump assembly...

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    Anybody got a pic of the fuse holder used as orig equiptment? It would be nice to see so I can try to get as close to original as possible.

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    It looks like ckt#654 splits off from the starter button, so after starting I should be able to put the inductive meter inside the cab where I might be able to see it and measure the current there. I'll post if it works....

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    I took a moment tonight to check the actual current measured at the fuel pump power feed. I measured it to be 1.75a . I didn't run it long enough to get hot so I still wonder if it would be best to hook up a meter and watch the reading while driving. I used an inductive meter so I can't very...

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    So a fuse rated at 20a @12v would be equivalent to 10a? If so, a 10a fuse would be "more correct" than a 20a fuse. I will try to see what the current draw is with it running to see what I've got going on. I just wanted to get the pump running and see if it fired up like it should. It did do...

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    Did I mention that the correct fuse had been replaced (by a member of the military) with a 20a mini fuse, acouple crimp-on female blade style connectors and a crimp-on ring eye? There was nothing there to compare it to. I just remade the same arrangement with a new 20a fuse and it...

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    Thanks guys:roll:. I did Google it! All I saw was a standard glass type 250v 3a fuse. Didn't ever call them "slow blow" fuses. I guess it's a difference in terminology. I can barely believe a 3a fuse is gonna hold up in a fuel pump circuit. I didn't do the math yet to figure the difference in...

    Fuel pump blowing fuses

    I would like to see a pic of a "slow blow fuse". I am familiar with most all automotive fuses but I kinda need to see it to correctly identify the fuse. I've got a temporary fuse in there, but a 20a fuse for a 12v system isn't the same as a 24v fuse I imagine. Any help?
