Default Q's about walbro 255's

what are the electrical specs on these? Meaning what size fuse did you put on it and what amp's do they pull? Thanks.

I'm using a 30A Bosch relay and a 20A fuse. I haven't measured the actual current draw.

I have no experience with this stuff, so forgive me but, Why a 30 amp relay and then a 20 amp fuse? As opposed to a 20 amp relay or a 30 amp fuse? Like i said I have no experience with electrical stuff at all. I just figured out how relays work. lol. Thanks.

Fuses are to protect the rest of an electrical circuit. Everything on the circuit should be rated for slightly higher capacity than the fuse.

you use a relay so you dont run to much current trough the ECU. the ecu grounds the relay on the fuel pump when the pump is suppose to run.

a 20 amp fues saves the 30 amp relay

The PCM puts 12 volts to the relay to make it close, not ground.
