Default Fuel Pump Amperage?

Does anyone know how many amps the fuel pump uses? I'm planning on doing a kill switch in the R. So I need to know what size switch to get. if you got any suggestions on how to wire this up properly, like using a relay or inline fuse, feel free. TIA!

10-15 amps...an inline switch is fine...using a relay is a bit overkill.
