The Fuel pump wire MAY do....., as its run from a 30A relay.
The rest shouldn't (perm live,ign live, tacho,coolant)

Personally i just use decent guage wiring everywhere.

Fcuk.

Its not the gauge of the wire Ad, its a certain type of multi-plug im looking into using, it'll only run 17.5a max.

Ahh right.
Hmm, thinking about it, the fuel pump wire only runs through a 20A fuse, so tbh it should be 'reet.
