Owner's manual for '89 says 20 amp.  The blower in its shroud running
in free air (maximum-load condition) draws 12 amps from a
fully-charged battery, so if there's enough drag that it's blowing a
20 that's a real issue.  However I've seen one of those motors seize
and smoke without blowing the fuse...but that was a short-term
issue.  Haven't got Bentley nearby so can't be more helpful just now.
