Just looking at this comment
"It does not (well, should not) dump the pressure in the reservoir, it should try to preserve it.
I think you are referring to the gallery pressure; this is reduced to give the pump an easier time on start-up, otherwise the starting current would be horrendous."
So for those of us with fuse FL10 that pops after replacement but not immediately does that mean the galley pressure is not dropping after first run thus the fuse is blowing when the compressor starts for the second time or third or fourth. The compressor being happy to start the first time because the pressure has dropped in the system between finding the blown fuse and finding a replacement. My knowledge of workshop compressors is that they have an electrical pressure relief valve for the pump itself when the pump switches off for that very starting current reason. Could it be the one on the suspension compressor is sticking. Anyone know if that can be replaced or perhaps is part of the overhaul kit you can get for the pump?
