.... Anyways yea I understand were your coming from, the pump is on a 20 amp fuse and a relay. Going to put a AMP meter across the + wire while the truck is running and see what kinda amps it pulls.
Hey on your 31 plate Cell... Abssystems, who manufactures it or did you build it yourself ?
Been there done that. Too high of an amperage pull, it shorts them out in a second.
You'd be better off with a 30 amp fuse and a 30 amp circuit breaker. Also, without an amp meter I was producing less then with .?! so you would and do need an amp meter.
If you use a relay use one that's rated for continuous duty such as for a fuel pump or fan. It will stay cooler and not burn up.
Its done right or its not done !
