it says "15 Amp fuse required." my car's manual says 10 amp max for the outlet. Has this pump ever burnt any fuse on your car? Thanks.

The inflator has never burnt a fuse.The rated fuse for the vehicle is required and will not inhibit the operation of the inflator.

I am curious about this too. Has anybody used this successfully in a vehicle with 10 amp fuses?

I just blew a 10A fuse on my cigarette lighter. I have another that is 20A fused. No issues on that one.

60 amp fuse.. So at full volume it draws at least 30 to 60 amps.. I'm about to get a second one as it does bump for Da price

The wire gage should be heavier for 15 amps! You can probably get by with the 10 amps and it's not going to hurt anything. If the fuse isn't enough it will simply blow which will not hurt anything............

you could but it is just as easy as finding your fuel pump relay. either way would work just make sure you wire it to the load side of the fuse. If unclear to which that is, turn your key to acc on (without starting) and pull the fuse. The test both sides of the fuse holder and the side that is NOT hot is your load side.

being a master mechanic. I can only suspect without seeing the condition of the system but my experience Is up your fuses to 15 amp. if it blows these the problem is in the wiring not the bulbs. these are designed usually to draw much less than traditional filiment type.

I beilieve its a 15amp...not indicated...however, I've done three heavy duty fillups with it and have had now problems...my 2001 Sierra's outlet is the cigarette lighter which is notoriously lame and has not blown a fuse

late reply here: I was installing this as a trunk release in my car today and during a bench test I found that this motor pulled up to a max of 4.1 Amps when full extended or compressed (leaving it engaged for more than 2 seconds)

Ref: While other inflators have failed after a couple of months of weekly use, this inflator keeps going. Fills auto tires much faster then expected. Hose and cord of enough length and not too long. Mr. Ortiz, where in the above text did I mention '15 amps'. Mr. Ortiz, I am a 7th grade teacher. Please proof read your question, correct your grammar, and resend.

It depends on how much power your car heater uses. This is a 12AWG cord, which can carry 15 Amps without overheating. If your heater has a standard 3-prong plug then it draws less than 15 Amps so you should be fine with this cord.

It comes with a 15 amp, 125 volt fuse, so it is pulling less than 15 amps. I hope this helps answer your question.

It will handle up to 15 amps. If your pump pulls less than 15 amps the answer is yes. I have a 1 HP on mine and it works wonderfully.Hope this helps.Regina

Hello, This item doe not include the fuse. Different customers may need different fuses for their specific application. This item works with ATC/ATO (knife) type fuses up to 30 amps. Sincerely, Christina Parts Express Customer Service Team

Myrle - I don't see why not; The only question is how many amps the pump draws. The standard Deltek pigtail that connects to the battery and this plug has an integral standard 10 amp fuse block, but it could be easily replaced with a 15 or 20 if you needed to.

I do not know amps fuse is rated for, but have had the product for several months and use it regularly; and have had absolutely no problems with the unit (fuses or otherwise).

I'm using mine on a pool pump. My 1 HP pump draws 15 amps. The way I read the ratings on the timer is; it is rated for using both outlets at the same time. I am only using one outlet and it has been working fine for a couple of weeks now.

I ran my pump off of my camper batteries (12 volts) using rather heavy duty jumper cables several years ago. I don't know how much current it draws, but as I recall, the pump has a thermal overload or fuse, maybe both, but check the manual. On the other hand, if you intend to supply the operating current with a "jumper box" capable of delivering 15 amps, it's output is probably protected by a fuse or breaker as well. Check it's manual to be sure. If it is protected, I would suggest you try to run the pump with the jumper box. It may overload the jumper box, but it won't be a short.

I don't know how many amps it is pulling, but I have not blown a fuse in my car - there is a fuse inside of the connector and that should blow before a fuse in your vehicle does.
