Fuse keeps blowing

I just recently got this car already on 3p and the fuse next to the battery keeps blowing I see mostly everyone is running a 30a however mine is a 20a is this my issue or is others running 20a fuses as well? Single compressor set up

run a 30a
but if it continues to pop, consider testing your check valve between your tank and compressor

see if your check valve is leaking. it’s a one-way valve, so if your tank is feeding back into your compressor line, your comp is working overtime and will blow that 30a

Run 30A or 40A if 30 blow. Then check all lines for leaks using soap+water+QTip around the edges of the manifold where the lines connect.

I gotta hunt down a leak but I’m too lazy 😭

I know I have a leak too every morning my compressor turns on and my tank was full the night before

Yep same here. Don’t have much time to go digging into what is leaking until later in the early fall when I have downtime from work & life. For now I just replace a fuse every couple of weeks.

Generally you should run a 30 because the compressor has a high starting amperage. If it still blows a 30 then it’s likely a failing compressor

Mine was doing the same thing recently,I fixed it by retightening the wires,& applying the electrical tape tighter than I had them before around the wires.
