Fuel bowl heater is all bojangled! A little help?

[hollister25073]

So last night driving home minding my own business the truck dies with no wait to start light and crank but no fire so i check number 30 and it's blown then I swap out number 30 20 amp fuse for my door lock 20 amp fuse and unplug my heater truck fires moves ten feet and blows the fuse again

Am I missing something?

Bump! If I just replace the heater will everything be fine?

If you unplugged the heater, then replacing it will not change anything.
Are you sure you unplugged the heater?

Pretty sure I did it was dark and I was a little angry that my truck died so I will double check this afternoon when I get home

If it IS unplugged, trace back the wires and see it it could be chafed as it passes over the valvecover (or any other place that look likely). Roll the bundle over or use a mirror and strong light.

Also, let's get a 30A back in there (without the heater I'm sure 20's enough, but, just because )

The book calls for a 20 amp though

Oh sorry I though it was a 30A in position #30 (maybe I'm confusing the number with the rating)

Certainly NEVER put a 30A where a 20A belongs!

Exactly I've played that game before when I was younger no good haha

I did unplugg the heater last night but replaced the fuse again and it seems to be fine so far I don't want this thing to leave me stranded again
