I have my bottle opener, purge, and both solenoids hooked to the same 20A fuse. It did well for a while then blew the fuse. I am guessing there is too much to that one fuse. Would it be OK to upgrade the fuse or should I find alternate power sources for each thing?
I don't know whose products you're using, but I have the NX kit and accessories. The two solenoids (fuel & nitrous) draw 31 amps combined, the heater draws 18 amps, and the opener draws 15 amps. My purges draw 8.5 each.
I would suggest a 12v switched source to a relay, through a arm sw, for each device. Then a direct 12v from batt source with a fuse of needed size to said relays. Much safer this way, as you don't want a failure at the wrong time, or to burn your ride down. I run a total of 7 relays and have had zero problems.
