Racetronix fuel pump Question
I had an install a while back and the car worked like a charm. Recently I had a new motor put in and the issue now is the fuse keep popping. I currently has a 20 now I moved it up to a 30 just to get it home. I dont know if there is an issue here. The problem usually happens when im just driving at lower Rpms. I was not even able to put another fuse in the kit till I put the 30 in there. Any thoughts? I checked the wires and the all look like they are connected where they should be. Would it be the alternator is going out. Or just leave the 30 fuse in?

Fuses are put in to protect the wiring from overheat. Something is causing an excessive current draw. I would check your grounds and get the pump checked to see if it draws excess current

First you should check the wire running from the fuse holder to the relay at back of the car to make sure nothing has cut through or been pinched.
This has nothing to do with a failing alternator. Put a quality BUSS or LITTLEFUSE brand 20 amp fuse back in the fuse holder.

Im at a loss I dont know what is going on. Everything looks good on wires no cuts it just keeps popping the fuse. Bolted to the alternator then the fuse holder then to the rear and the ground is seperatly bolted to the body.
