Any one know what amperage the air pump relay can handle, The PO had
installed a larger air pump and it draws 27 amps, I know the wiring was to
small since it has over heated in the past and I need to replace it.

Serge,

Here you go:

http://www.viaircorp.com/OnRoad/Parts/relays.html

BTW I had problems with the pigtail that attached to this relay when I
installed a Viair 480C. That's the biggest single pump they make.

I went to a local Napa store and they couldn't find a pigtail that attached
to it, I then went to an AutoZone - same thing. I went to an O'Reilly store
and the manager there found one. Unfortunately I can't provide the part
numbers as the receipt is in my file on Double Trouble in Humble and I'm in
Sydney.

I would suggest you take the relay to a local O'Reilly store and see if they
can find the pigtail. The wires that attach to the one I got were more than
adequate.

Regards,
Rob M.

it is good to add a relay to power each pump, and let the pressure switch
control the relay,
