Current Rating Of Mazda 2 Cigarette Lighter Socket

I want to buy a tyre inflator to plug into my car but it needs a 12 amp supply and I can't find out what the car lighter socket is rated at, doe anybody know?

I can't see anything in Baldric's link about the current rating.

Check the rating of the fuse in the cigarette lighter socket. A bit of googling suggests that most Mazdas have either 15A or 20A fuses in the circuit, so you should be OK.
