Thought the reason I was burning up fuses was b/c of the 10 micron filter PRE pump. Swapped that out to an Aeromotive 100 micron filter and a -10AN line from the filter to the pump (up from a -8AN). Problem got better....BUT....after sitting in a lot of stop and go traffic - the pump died. Once it gets hot after about an hour of driving - the pump starts to get loud. On cool mornings - I can't even hear the thing on the way to work - which is an hour drive each way. On the way home is a different story. Pump starts humming after about 45min. into the afternoon commute. On two occasions when it has died - I pulled the fuse and one side of the plastic was burnt. Fuse didn't blow - but it damn sure got hot. Replaced the fuse - and it fired right back up and got me home. Tested the fuse when I got home - it's still good. I am using the STOCK wiring for the fuel pump. I spliced into it under the dash. I'm guessing I need to run a straight 12GA wire from the relay board to the pump to drop resistance? Pump is mounted in the stock location. I know I'm missing some details - but that's the gist of it. Car/fuel gets hot, pump gets loud and just shuts down for a while. Not sure if replacing the fuse did any good - or whether the cooling down did the trick. I'm either looking at going to -10AN from the tank to the pre-filter, or straight wiring 12GA. from the relay board to the pump. I'd like to be as minimally invasive as possible - but just want to see if anyone else is running the 044 pump and has had any heat relate cutoff issues. Thanks in advance...
