Hi everyone. I own a '96 Passat TDI wagon and today I tried pumping up a tire with an air compressor connected to the cig lighter. I plugged an inverter into the lighter and then plugged the air compressor into the inverter. One second after I turned it on, the fuse blew out. I replaced the fuse with a 30 A fuse, turned on the car and tried again. Everything worked fine. Is there any problem with doing this? I don't think there are any vital electronics that run through that fuse...
