A. No, the mixture in the tank is too rich to ignite.

B. The cause of the problem was the loose connection, which had high contact resistance. High resistance does not increase current, but actually reduces it. The fuse would hold.

C. No need.

You should re-test that zero ohms you thought you saw. It is highly unlikely. Make sure when using your meter you have a similar known good resistance to compare with, as meters commonly develop a fault resulting in low resistance readings after internal shunt or fuse failure. The pump is probably OK, you just need to tighten the connection to it.

You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
