yeah but i mean the connector itself is rated 8 amps…i’m hoping the size of the wire going into the connector raises that more ---

dont chance it. connectors are usually rated at a given amperage and shouldnt be ran any higher. the thing could get to hot and start to melt then you really have issues. you always want a connector and wire higher then the rated amperage but your fusible link the proper amperage size. ---

i have wire rated higher but the connecter was designed as crimp for 18gauge i hard soldered 12gauge to it ---

well…in order to do that i’d have to submerge hte pump in gas and supply power to it and then test the draw…i’ll skip that and ask someone haha ---
