Go fuel website clearly states: Bank Card Pre-authorisation - Transactions at marine payment terminals are all pre-authorised by your card provider. They (not GOfuel) might place a "hold" of $1500 on your account prior to dispensing your fuel.

You will also receive a discount on every transaction. Sign-up now.

If the breaker is lucky, there might be enough current spare to cause it to trip. The best way to check that is to short the cable at the winch and the breaker should pop within a second or 2 at the most. If it t
