Dometic 15000 btu heat pump

I was camping and my AC blower quit working, turned out it was my fan capacitor. My question is that it calls for a 50/15 MDF. I put in a 50/5 that’s all I had. The unit is running now but I’m afraid that it might burn my motor windings not being big enough. What is your thoughts, I ordered a new 50/15 but it will take 2 weeks to get here, very uncommon size.

Put a single 10 mfd across the 5 mfd terminals and you will have the equivalent of a 50 /15 capacitor
