Are you using the correct size fuse to start with??? If yes, do not use higher amperage, may exacerbate whatever problem is causing the fuse to fail, may start a fire.. take it back where you bought it, tell them to fix it..

Suggested Repair

Do not install a higher-amp fuse. Confirm the correct fuse rating is used, then return the Thunderbird to the selling dealer so they can find and repair the electrical fault causing the fuel injector fuse to melt before it starts a fire.
