I've got a toggle switch that I can use to turn the unit on or off in the cab, but I would prefer to not have to wire through the firewall in my truck. What's the easiest way to wire the cell so that it only runs when the engine is running? It's installed on a 2008 Ranger with the 2.3L inline 4. I've heard that wiring it off of the fuel pump relay would be the smart thing to do, but wouldn't that produce a fairly large drag on the energy trying to reach the fuel pump?
Lastly, I see a lot of people using a 15 or 30 amp fuse in line with the generator...is this absolutely necessary? Could I simply use a 30 amp breaker from a hard ware store if it is? (Please excuse my ignorance...electrical systems are definitely my weak point!)
Thanks!
