Indeed, though you can often get away with just using the existing main fuse (on top of the starter solenoid). Then put a smaller (more easily accessible) fuse where to blow if the device fails, just make sure the wiring is thick enough gauge to ensure the main fuse blows if there is a wiring fault.

I ride a honda,
The only fuel line I need to be concerned about is the one attached to my neighbours car and my fuel cap..

We still do on occasion, not recently

Shall have to hold one!

All Righty!

New plan. (sorta) Ill come over bright and early (say 8ish) and, by merit of working for the whole day we should be able to get it all done. Then home again that night.

Completely avoids the verbal jousting with the parents.
I get food.
You get pretty pretty lights.
Sorted
