    Peter, GM uses fuses in all injector circuits that I have seen.
    Remember that the fuse is not there to protect drivers in the ECM, it
    is to prevent a fire in the wiring if something goes wrong! Your house
    is wired with CBs or fuses, right?  These are not to protect the device
    you plugged in.  They are there to protect the wiring and prevent a
    fire!
