Does anyone know how much current the Metro Fuel Pump draws

I ask cos I need to work out the wiring and a fuse ? If its a lot of current > 8amp then maybe a relay to

I think it would be more than 8amps. Id defo use a relay as i had problems with it arcing over the ignition switch it pulled that much current.
It is quite high IIRC.

Diagram is in the "how to's" *smiley*

I'd have thought no more than 5 amps... Deffo too much for the ign switch alone to handle along with all the other stuff!

For some reason thought it was more than that but yeah too much for the ignition switch.

Anybody know where to get start panels from? Longacre ones especially as i cant find them anywhere!

They have switches for ingnition and a starter button.

The diagram says just use a 15A fuse, so i did this inline with the pump which gets its power from the fuse box live side thats live with igniotion in position 2, hope this is ok.

I don't use a metro turbo pump. but my car running draws a constant 4 Amps. All the car has is a fuelpump, the ignition and a light on the rev counter. So the pump is less than 4 Amps.

15 A fuse should be fine as you will get a surge when the motor starts.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
