I was cheaking over my vl turbo an i took the cover off my fuse box. Now my fuse box was perfect last time I inspected it. Now the high beam fuse and holder look a little melted ( its fairly common on the vl??) Also my fuel pump fuse is badly melted and also affected the fuse box itself ??? Im running a walbro intank pump and a bosch 948 external should i be using a higher rated fuse? Im to scared to driver her like it is incase the fuel pumps shut off under 18pound boost I hope ur online Niche lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

your fuel pump fuse is melted because there is too much current draw, uprade the wiring and run a bigger fuse. im running a 984 and standard intake and it seems fine.

I was hoping one of nichies boards fix it.

well found a new fuse block in the shed, in perfect condition. Was gunna swap them over and run a slightly bigger fuse for the fuel pump.

Too much current draw should blow the fuse not melt it onto the rail... Dont use cheap fuses but the real problem is the location of the fusebox. Its the worst design flaw known to mankind, only holden would put it near the hottest part of the car...!!

Yeh i was thinking that y is it on the exhaust side bahaha O well. Ill give it a go with decent fuses and if it melts again i may have to buy a board of nichie... I heard they dont melt.

Not neccessarily.....Most fuses won't blow instantly unless the current is 125% of the fuse rating. Therefore a 15A fuse may take several minutes to blow if the current passing through the fuse is 15A. This 'delay' time, in combination with the location of the fusebox is enough to heat up the plastic fuse rail.
