DEJAY SORRY BOUT YOUR LUCK ON THAT ONE. BUT HERE IS A GOOD ONE YOU GUYS NEED TO GO TO YOUTUBE AND WATCH THE GUY TELLNG YOU HOW TO HOOK ONE OF THOSE PUMPS UP, HES SHOWING YOU HOW TO BLOW IT UP. ALL YOU NEED IS A FUSE HOLDER A 25 WATT FUSE, A PUMP, BATTERY, BATTERY BOX IS YOU WANT HEAT SHRINK, DONT FORGET A SWITCH IF NEEDED, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST 12G WIRE.

I think that guys name would be Bob...Right?

The switch you took pics of can't be rated for 30 amps or more - no way. You'll want to use a 30A (or higher) switch, which will be pricey, or wire it through a relay. 30 amps is a lot of current guys. Most of the circuits in our homes are only rated for 15 amps.

Man, Thanks for all the responses so fast.

My pump is well ventilated so it should not be over heating.. I wouldnt think.
My tips are fine.
But I do run my ball valve half open sometimes and today was one of those times.

I guess it will try not to do that and see what happen

Now that I think about it. When I was filling up my tank for tomorrow the ball valve was fully open and pumped in 50gals of sh with out any blown fuses.

Thanks you for the post.
