If you continually blow the fuel pump fuse then the pump is going bad or you've got a wiring problem like a poor connection at the fuel pump plug or a wire rubbing on the frame/body

Ok. Did you check the plug for overheating when you did it? Also did you replace the fuel filter? A plugged fuel filter can overstress a fuel pump
