		  I'm installing an 'alternative engine' using a 

fuel/ignition controller driving automotive 

style injectors & coil-near-plugs. My first 

draft for power distribution included individual 

fuses & B+ lines to each coil pack and to the 

injectors, to avoid one coil or injector failure 

taking out multiple the coils or injectors.Â



Given the rarity of coil/injector failures, it 

seems reasonable to eliminate the multiple 

joints (along with weight & wiring complexity) 

of multiple fuses, & just use soldered-in fuse 

links instead of filling a fuse block with fuses.


	


   It's a juggling act for risk. Your assessment appears

   sound. I think I'd use butt-spliced links and put the

   wires under the legacy 'fire sleeve' but that's a

   process detail. What size wires make up your feeders

   to the loads?

Bob, just curious, would solder splices also be acceptable?
