If you are blowing a fuse then its either an open or a short in the circuit. The first thing you can do is use a multimeter and test both sides of the fuel pump fuse to ground. If you get continuity then you have a short. If not then you will need to trace the wires back from the pump and at each plug or connection test each side of it and make sure you have a good circuit. If one of the connections is bad it will increase the current draw and blow a fuse. Some tutorials below for you.

Tracing this whole circuit and all the connections wont be easy and make sure you check every inch of wire for chafes.

Let us know what you find.
