sorry i low current draw was in relation to your old fuse holder melting (it was designed for low amp application)


the fuse will be ok its the wiring TO it and the components used in the circuit for example the fuse holder.........if the pump draws more current than the cable can sustain then it will melt same goes for the fuse holder which looks to be whats happened to your old one.

Your new one looks beefier though
