I tried to use a air compressor to check my tyres and blew the front
cigarette lighter fuse after about 30 seconds, but the cigarette socket in
the boot is 15a and coped just fine. I therefore presume the compressor
draws 11a to 12a.

What are the implications of replacing the 10a fuse for my front cigarette
lighter with a 15a or 20a fuse? Am I likely to melt wiring? Melt a central
fuse somewhere?
