Does anyone know if the wiring for the fuel pump is able to handle a 10amp fuse rather than the 7.5?
After installing my new pump, I blow the fuel pump fuse after about 2 hours of driving (never on short to 1 hour drives) - leading me to believe it's now barely getting into the 7.5 range causing it to blow when it's upset.
Installation consisted of 2 wires connected with solder and heat shrink.

Yes Abby I had a similar issue and have been using a 10A fuse on the fuel pump wiring for about 2 years no issues thus far.
Edit: just curious but what pump are you using? I have the TRE e30 unit.

You should be fine to run the 10 amp fuse.Originally posted by ak- View Post
I'd check the relay, maybe its creating a tiny short that's blowing the fuse out.Current Collection: 1990 325is // 1987 325i Vert // 2003 525i 5spd // 1985 380SL // 1992 Ranger 5spd // 2005 Avalanche // 2024 Honda Grom SP

Good to hear. My Walbro started shitting itself after 2+ years (honestly think its a replica) and I also installed a TRE e30 unit.Originally posted by Balleristic31 View Post

Did you recently do any work to the motor? Headgasket? Oil pan gasket? Timing case swap?Originally posted by Violet88 View Post
Do you know if you are u getting oil into the filter housing?
Are u cranking with the plugs in the motor? Makes it a lot easier to bleed/turn the motor over with them out.

Pop the oil filter housing off cap and see if oil is pushing up through into there. Probably just a dry oil pump.Originally posted by Violet88 View Post
If no oil is in the housing pour a bit into it and it'll burp up eventually.
Pull the plugs to help the engine rotate easier.
Hope that helps good luck!
