compression pump kills my fuse

Hi guys. I was given a gift the compression pump on my birthday.
So it pumped my wheels several times successfully.
But it came a moment when pump started killing my cigarette lighter fuses.
I can't understand what might be wrong, I've bought ten 15A fuses and change them very often.
Can I put the fuse which has greater current strength, will it help me ?

I drive Honda Fit '03, 1.3 CVT, GD1

Thank You.

do NOT put a larger fuse you may burn out other things like wiring, the pump may be faulty

I've heard that compressor pumps burn the fuses very often. Did somebody deal with this problem ?

Exclamation

Are ya talking about an air compressor? And what are you using that for all the time if I may ask? A raft ? the small air compressors for cars are used in case the tire is low on your car and then stored, if your using this A/C often, well they're not reccomended for contiuios use. The compressor maybe getting worn abit and is needing more amperage from the lighter plug-in than be4

Do Not use a fuse that's larger than the original could= humm....what's that smell, 'O No Fire, Fire!!

hey guys, i have delt with this a million times. i used to be a technician a Darrell Waltrip Honda an some phone chargers an larger electronics pulling more amps will blow the radio/accessories fuse sometimes.. they just weren t engineered to provide that much power.. so the fix- don t use that compressor

Thank you for advices, I will put my 15A fuse back instead of 20A.
Certainly, compressor does work, really pities it.
