I totally agree Mark. The reason that I even asked that question is that today I had a pre flight experience. I had wired my Facets to the fuse box and was using a 1A fuse. The pump had run fine like this during previous test I did. However today, I was sitting in the cockpit with the canopy closed and began turning systems on. The gyros began winding up, all gauges came to life and I ran the auxiliary fuel pump for a while then switched to the main fuel pump and after about 30 seconds...dead silence...the pump shut off....it had blown the fuse. Now, this pre flight experience really opened my eyes as to what dead silence in the cockpit at 5000' must be like. That is when I got the Facet instructions out and carefully read them only to find no mention of including a fuse or breaker in the hook up.
