The amperage required to run a fuel pump typically ranges from 5 to 20 amps, depending on the vehicle and the specific pump design. Most standard automotive fuel pumps operate around 10 to 15 amps. However, it's essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amperage needed for a particular fuel pump model. Proper wiring and relay systems should also be used to support the pump's electrical requirements.
The fuel pump is going bad, or the filter is so clogged that the pump is using too many amps to run.
Turns the fuel pump on/off as needed.
To answer this question the pump's voltage is needed.
The factory pump uses 6 to 9 amps depending on the condition of the pump. A worn pump uses more power of course. I don't know what problems if any you are having but if you blow a 10amp fuse then change the fuel filter, a pluged filter will make your pump work much harder. Still blows? Then time for a new pump. Aftermarket pumps such as a Walbro pulls almost 15 amps.
It turns the fuel pump on an off when needed.
My first thought is that the fuel pump is going bad and is drawing too many amps, second would be a wire grounding against metal.
A fuel pump is needed because you need to move fuel from the tank to the engine at the appropriate rate to get the engine to work the way you want it to.
The fuse for fuel pump on a Acura Vigor is located in the cabin fuse box. It is in slot 2 and is rated at 15 amps.
A fuel pump resistor runs the fuel pump at a lower speed when the demand for fuel is lower. When more fuel is needed the system bypasses the resistor and allows the fuel pump to run at full speed.
A 240V well pump typically draws around 10-15 amps.
the fuel pump fuse is number 14 in the fuse box in the glove box rated at 15 amps
