[QUOTE="blisters, post: 296484, member: 4992"] While the pump is running measure the voltage over the battery and the voltage over the pump. The difference is the voltage loss over the wire. Note that this loss will be over both wires as the positive and negative wires extend an equal distance from your vehicle, the loss over a single wire is half what you measure. Jon [/QUOTE]
