[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 1372151, member: 540940"] Unfortunately this is one of those situations where you actually have to use some common sense. On my car - my alternator output stud is about 18" from my battery (+). The only thing it MIGHT rub/wear the 8 ga wire I added is the fuzzy hood insulation panel and any wear that may cause over time is clearly visible whenever I open the hood. In my case there is no reason at all to fuse that wire. [B]IF[/B] I saw any POSSIBLE scenario that wire could be grounded I would most certainly fuse it. When in doubt, fuse it. [/QUOTE]
