Default 10ga or 12ga wire for dual fuel pumps?
Going to run dual feeds off relays for bosch 044's, what's best and not skimping or overkill?

Those pull about 16-18 amp, I'd go with 10 awg.

Thanks, 10"awg" it is.
So is there a general rule of thumb for x amount of amps require x awg wire? Or more to it than that?

I would run a dedicated circuit (separate relays) with 10 for each pump.

I get most of my wiring products from CE Auto Electric or the Electrical Depot.

I use
Ballenger Motorsports.
http://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/ind...9a7obn2qc4pnl0
The web site is easy to use and shipping is reasonable.
They offer the OEM connectors with the correct pins in kit form.
