They were designed to cool the fuel in the line, to stop hot starting problems. They were fitted with a 15 amp fuse, but when they went wrong the wiring would burn out before the fuse would pop. Alot of the ones I have worked on I always change the fuse to a 7.5 amp. I would put it back if you like your car looking standard and original, as most people will recognise it is missing. If you don’t want the OE look sell it.
