tire pump
I have recently gone from RF tires to standard tires with sensors. I am in need of a pump/jack/plugs etc. In searching for a pump I found what Amazon reviews rate best and then found the same pump rated by a vendor as best. BUT in the reviews the negative is that more than one mention it repeatedly blows their fuse. A couple mentioned 15 amp fuses. My question is.. first what is the fuse size use in my C5 accessory plug in. Secondly is this a problem others are experiencing... if not what pump are you using THAT YOU LIKE... meaning fairly fast and reliable.

I bought a Campbell Hausfield pump and Victor plug kit from Wal-Mart in Jefferson City. Reasonable price and the pump fills the tire up fairly fast.

Mike, this is only my opinion... buy the cheapest pump you can get. They are all 12v sealed units.
I've been using mine constantly for the past five years on my bike tires and maintaing a proper PSI level on the Vette's tires. It is still running strong.
There are around for anywhere from $10 to $20.
Good Luck.

AS far as pumps, I purchased a Harbor Freight special, 12V for around $25.00.....works great on the cars and bike tires.

My wife gave me a "SLIME" kit with pump for Christmas since I'm scrapped my RF's for something better. I also have a plug kit plus a AAA card so I think I'm covered in case of a tire emergency. I think she got it at AutoSport but I'm not sure.
