Hi all, I have this fuel pump - think its pretty popular with us lot.

Bosch 0580464070

It will go secure if you use the link above but don't worry about it, its just the way they set the site up.

What rating fuse should I use with it? It came with no tech specs whatsoever :thumbsup:

Thanks for the help
phil

The Amp rating will vary on different applications due to the fuel pressure regulator.
ie. if you are only running 10 psi you may put the pump under 30A load
or if you are running 80psi it will only have a load of 5 or 10 Amps.

The best way to check (engine not running) is to place a ammeter in series with the pump and use the nearest rated fuse above what ever reading.
Mine has a 10A running at 45psi.
