[Diy_efi] diff. bet regular and automotive standard wires?

[Ron Schroeder]

Hi Eric,

I think that I would use Ancor Marine wire (sold at West Marine) probably 4
ga. with T&B or Burndy lugs crimped with the proper tool and cover the
barrel and first 1/2" or so of the wire insulation with inner layer meltable
heat shrink.  I would make sure the heat shrink went over the little hole in
the end of the barrel to seal it too.
