Thanks everyone for your input. JOE, my furthest lock-on, at the end of my buss, is 48' from the in-line fuse at the bricks. My thought was that adding a fuse out there (like adding GFI protection closer to the short in a kitchen or bathroom) would blow quicker, (offering faster protection to the HEART in an engine way out there), then the fuse at the bricks. That's why I used the GFI scenario. I gave TVS's a thought, but don't like the fact you never know if their still any good, and don't they also add capacitance. If there is TVS's in the TIU, then also added to engines, and then at each lock-on, could signal problems start to appear?
