Yup,

But that isn't good practice especially with a fuel system with smaller wires. I've been running the factory fuse with my Walbro for 8 months now and no issues. I would keep a spare just in case, but I don't think I would add a higher rated fuse on factory wires. Just not good safe practice. If you want to increase the fuse, increase wire gauge and mke sure the plugs are rated for the new fuse amp rating.

I've wired more fuel pumps then I would ever care to share for turbo cars..lol and many Corvette fuel pump harnesses.

According to Walbro pump shouldn't pull more then 18 amps for our pressure setting. So if you are popping a 20 amp fuse. I would look at reasons it is blowing and why the pump is drawing more then it should. Just my 2 cents .
